All Technology Pathways
Exploring every convergent route to stellar civilization. Each pathway represents a critical technology or capability needed for humanity's expansion beyond Earth. All pathways are currently in exploratory phase pending evidence collection.
Technology Pathways
EXPLORING CONVERGENT ROUTES TO STELLAR CIVILIZATION. ALL PATHWAYS CURRENTLY IN [EXPLORATORY] STATUS.
Orbital manufacturing
Fabrication above gravity wells to unlock scale parts and repair-in-orbit.
Asteroid mining
Extract volatiles and metals to feed propellant, habitats, and industry.
Interplanetary logistics
Cargo networks and propellant depots enabling regular solar system transit.
Dyson swarm deployment
Distributed collectors and relays for abundant power with graceful scaling.
Fusion reactor network
Compact, serviceable reactors where steady baseload is decisive.
Beamed power systems
Wireless energy transmission enabling operations in permanent shadow.
Terraforming systems
Long-horizon environmental engineering with reversible, bounded steps.
Closed-loop ecosystems
Life-support that treats waste as feedstock; stability over spectacle.
Space-native materials
Alloys and composites only possible in microgravity environments.
