THE ETHERUSH STORY — Part 1
The 13 first steps to spatial exploitation
Step 01 : First orbital spaceflight by Soviet satellite Sputnik 1
Date : 4 October 1957
“As result of great, intense work of scientific institutes and design bureaus the first artificial Earth satellite has been built”
Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union
Step 02 : Creation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Date : 29 July 1958
“It is of great urgency and importance to our country both from consideration of our prestige as a nation as well as military necessity that this challenge (Sputnik) be met by an energetic program of research and development for the conquest of space… It is accordingly proposed that the scientific research be the responsibility of a national civilian agency… NACA is capable, by rapid extension and expansion of its effort, of providing leadership in space technology.”
A National Research Program for Space Technology
Hugh Dryden, NACA Director
Step 03 : First steps of man on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission
Date : 21 July 1969
Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.
Step 04 : Establishment of permanent human presence in space on board of the International Space Station (ISS)
Date : 31 October 2000
“We can follow our dreams to distant stars, living and working in space for peaceful, economic and scientific gain. Tonight, I am directing NASA to develop a permanently manned space station and to do it within a decade.”
Ronald Reagan, 1984
Step 05 : Creation of Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
Date : 6 May 2002
“Holy flying fuck, that thing took off!”
Elon Musk, 2018
Step 06 : Creation of Planetary Resources to develop a robotic asteroid mining industry.

“Space is an inspirational concept that allows you to dream big”
Peter Diamandis
Step 07 : SpaceX succeeds in the first human mission to Mars.
Date : 4 April 2029
“Holy flying fuck, that thing touched down!”
Elon Musk, 2029
Step 08 : Creation of the first permanent lunar base
Date : 12 Février 2037
Space tourism is intensifying and competition is becoming wild.
Step 09 : First major accident on the moon
Date : 25 December 2039
Collision of rockets at Kepler astroport.
Step 10 : General Agreement on Space and Trade (GAST) ratification
Date : 30 October 2047
The China National Space Administration (CNSA) and NASA conclude a bilateral agreement at first to strengthen the regulation of space activities.
Step 11 : Exodus mission launch
Date : 19 September 2050
Tens of thousands of people, 80% of whom are civilians, are transported to Mars to establish an autonomous human settlement. After a year, the experience comes to a sudden end, leading to civil war.
Step 12 : World Space Organization (WSO) creation
Date : 13 October 2057
On the occasion of Sputnik 1’s launch centenary, a new international organization is created to oversee the exploration of the solar system and the exploitation of its resources.
Structured around a parliament, it comprises 42 member countries (the 42), including China, the United States, Canada, Russia, Japan, India, South Africa, Brazil and Australia, and many European countries.
Step 13 : New Gold Rush
Date : 7 March 2062
States confront each other in exploitation of the asteroid belt’s resources.
