      • Extract 1,000 tons of refined materials from Psyche-class asteroids
      • Begin rewilding programs on former industrial sites

  • Blockchain Ecosystem

    • Status: Conceptual
    • Priority: Medium
    • Timeline: 2028-2032
    • Dependencies: Interplanetary Foundations completion
    • Key milestones:
      • Create decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) for space governance
      • Develop tokenomics for resource allocation
      • Implement smart contracts for interplanetary trade

Long-term Actions

  1. Refine the hierarchical structure based on a. PDCA+CI (continous innovation) and b. feedback and c. teachings by s.blank
  2. Iterate on the modular approach to optimize for parallel development
  3. Continuously evaluate and adjust priorities based on progress and external factors
  4. There should be plans in place, in the situation that the time-lines are crunched. Like an impending catastrophe. However, to manufacture such a catastrophe would not only be highly immoral, but could cause severe problems and potentially irreperable harm on Earth (panic and potential of nuclear war...plus)

Governance Ecosystem Requirements

Added June 2026 · Source: Issue #63 · Full detail: governance-requirements.html

Beyond the technical roadmap, the SIT project's real-world success depends on eight foundational pillars operating in parallel:

# Pillar Status
1 ⚖️ Robust International Legal Frameworks 🔴 Critical Dependency
2 🤖 Advanced Automation & AI 🔴 Critical Dependency
3 🗳️ Decentralized Governance Tools (real-world testing) 🟢 In Development
4 🔒 Cybersecurity & Physical Security 🔴 Critical Dependency
5 💰 Sustainable Funding Models (Tokenomics) 🟢 In Development
6 🌐 Global Collaboration Platforms 🟡 Future Work
7 🎓 Education & Training Programs 🟡 Future Work
8 🔬 Iterative Prototyping (start small) 🟢 In Development

The blockchain approach is innovative, but success requires bridging technical implementation with real-world space challenges and international cooperation.

Implementation Notes

This roadmap follows the recommendations from our streamlining-suggestions.md file by:

  1. Creating a clear hierarchy with core objectives at the top and supporting ideas underneath
  2. Organizing the project into distinct tiers based on dependencies
  3. Assigning priority levels to focus efforts on critical elements first
  4. Showing temporal relationships between different project elements
  5. Identifying dependencies between various components

The roadmap is designed to be a living document that will be updated as the project progresses and as priorities shift based on external factors and internal progress.
