NASA issued this week a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) focused on what's needed in human and robotic technology to put into high gear any Moon, Mars, and beyond space exploration.
As part of a sweeping roster of needs, NASA is asking for proposals in the fields of artificial gravity, inflatable structures, as well as living-off-the-land machinery.

They also have the issue of private property rights in the report. Private property rights in outer space is an issue on every national chief executive's desk in every country that got a copy of the report. That is about every country on earth. But this legal question, although more important than all the flashy technology, seems to strike the blind spot of everybody that reads the report. Somebody, somewhere, is going to GET IT and that country will thrive while the rest DON'T GET IT and will be left behind and wonder in a century what went wrong.

Space is about getting someone else (US taxpayer) to
pick up the tab.

...and Congress neatly excises $1 billion earmarked for actually
doing anything about it...
