CyberSpace ORBIT (Webmaster et al),
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Marshall Gladstone and I am the
CEO of Sacred Logic (http://www.sacredlogic.com). We have just begun to publicly
reveal our mission statement and goals and are now completing our corporate
website. We are looking very deeply into extraterrestrial mining operations
to begin within the next two decades. Specifically, we have been thoroughly
examining the possibility of either lunar mining or asteroid mining. We are
fully expecting to become involved in the latter before we begin any enterprise
on the moon. Although, considering the lack of information of anything below
the lunar surface, we have still left lunar mining open as a viable option
at this point. We have hopes of forming internet alliances with such
organizations as the Artemis Project and SpaceDev to utilize the principle
of "strength in numbers". This will prove especially vital for the goals
at hand. As we complete the research phase, we will begin to fund construction
of the necessary spacecraft and robotic probes, but we would also like to
help fund SpaceDev and related projects that are willing to work with us
to achieve the goals at hand. I should tell you that I don't believe in simply
funding the projects (partly because I, nor my company have all the funds
needed). I am a computer programmer, webmaster, and marketer who will be
helping to provide whatever skills I can that fall within those three categories.
There are also others who are working with me with a varying array of skills
and experience. At this point in time, we are fairly unorganized but are
piecing together a "proof-of-concept" package, including various papers with
our proposals, computer simulations and animations, and other miscellaneous
data that could prove useful in helping to convince others of the reward
that could be gained from such ventures.
Sincerely,
Marshall Gladstone
