Аннотация: This article presents an interdisciplinary assessment of the need to transform our single-planet civilization into a multi-planetary species through the lens of space resource extraction. In light of the annually increasing volumes of resource mining driven by ever-growing demand, the issue of replenishing the mineral and raw materПоказать полностьюials base required to sustain and further advance technological progress remains highly relevant. Accordingly, this article evaluates the prospects for the development of space resource mining, emphasizing its interconnection with the energy development of civilization as outlined by N.S. Kardashev, and provides a brief overview of the sources of these resources along with existing strategies for their utilization.
