Space Commerce
Research Cost: 20000
Summary
We allow private enterprises to explore mining, construction, trade, and settlement interests in space.
Description
Inevitably, private businesses have taken a keen interest in humanity's expansion into space. Mining rights are particularly in demand, while other firms bid to build factories, and even commercial habitats. Careful regulation and the assignment of contracts and trade routes are thus necessary to achieve something never before attempted - transport goods and resources, in bulk, between Earth and space, and from station to station. This nascent commercialization of the Solar System is, of course, but a stepping stone towards a true, shared economy between Earth and space, allowing private enterprises to claim their stake can only accelerate the process.
