“Bank of America Merrill Lynch sees the size of the space industry octupling over the next three decades, to at least $2.7 trillion…As the cost of space access plummets, BofAML joined Morgan Stanley among Wall Street investment banks bullish on the extraterrestrial industry. Both put the space market today at around $350 billion, but BofAML’s outlook is nearly triple Morgan Stanley’s expectation of a $1.1 trillion market by 2040.” ~ Michael Sheetz @thesheetztweetz
“2017 saw a record $3.9B of non-government, equity investment flow into commercial space companies” ~ Space Angels, Space Investment Quarterly Q4 2017

This week on The Solari Report, I will present the theme of the 1st Quarter 2018 Wrap Up: Who’s Who & What’s Up in the Space-Based Economy.
I will review the area of activities, the changes in technology that are inspiring growth and the companies and private enterprises active in space. I will also cover the unanswered questions that make evolving an integrated framework for space economics such a mind-bending challenge.
The Trump Administration is significantly increasing US interest and investment in space. The President has even indicated he wants a “Space Corp.” There is a lot to be excited about.
However, there are also significant concerns. Will investment in space merely be used to justify more central control with surveillance and communications technology combined with high tech weaponry? I will touch on Elana Freeland’s new book, Under An Ionized Sky.
Make sure you review our updated presentation under Space Enterprises at the 1st Quarter 2018 Wrap Up Web Presentation. Jason Worth has updated and expanded our list of companies traded on US, European and Asian stock markets, as well as private space companies (yes, lots of new start ups) and governmental organizations. Reviewing the growing number of companies involved helps demonstrate the breadth of the activities involved and the explosive investment underway.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, I recommend another great film from director Ridley Scott – The Martian. The push for man made missions to Mars is on – and it’s a global push. While politicians would have you believe that the US, Russia and China are at each others throats, a remarkable amount of cooperation continues in space. It’s part of becoming a multi-planetary civilization.
Make sure to check out our extensive section Space in the Movies at the 1st Quarter 2018 Wrap Up Web Presentation – with recommendations and reviews for 60+ movies about space.
It’s the last week of the month so no Money & Markets.
Keep posting and e-mailing your questions for Ask Catherine. I will respond in the first Money & Markets in May.
Talk to you Thursday!
I will re-share the list of military, government and corporate facilities, organizations and bases which my research has indicated are directly involved in funneling money from the ‘black budget’ into unconstitutional (and illegal) special access projects related to the space-based economy here for anyone looking to do further research and follow the money (which I recently shared on the subscriber input page).
Major bases of operations, apart from widely diversified private sites, include:
– Edwards Air Force Base in California (the Cube)
– Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada, particularly S4 (aka area 51), S9 and S12 and adjacent facilities such as Pahute Mesa and Area 19, as well as Groom Lake
– Kirtland Airforce Base ( Sandia National Laboratories or SNL, Defense Nuclear Agency, Phillips labs, Manzano Mountain Weapons Storage Facility and underground complex, Coyote Canyon Test Site (north end of Manzano, White Sands Complex,
– Heystack Butte
– China Lakes
– George airforce base
– Norton airforce base
– Tabletop mountain observatory
– Blackjack control
– Fort Huachuca Arizona (Army Intelligence Headquarters),
– the Redstone Arsenal (in Alabama)
– Dulce underground complex
– Cheyanne Mountain complex
– Pine Gap (underground facility in Australia)
– Dugway Proving Grounds (outside Provo) a relatively new, expanding underground facility accessible only by air in a remote area of Utah, among others.
Additional facilities and operations centers exist in a number of other countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, and Russia.
Numerous agencies have deep cover, black, “USAP-s” related units involved with these operations, including:
– the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO)
– the National Security Agency (NSA)
– the CIA
– the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
– the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI)
– Naval Intelligence
– Army Intelligence
– Air Force Intelligence
– DARPA
– NASA
– the FBI and others.
An even more extensive list of private, civilian and corporate entities have significant involvement. The majority of scientific, technical and advanced technology operations are centered in the civilian industrial and research firms. Significant – and lethal – security is provided by private contract.
Corporate contractors:
– Battelle (thank you for bringing their involvement to my attention Catherine)
– BDM
– S.A.I.C.
– Booz-Allen and Hamilton, Inc
– EG&G
– Rockwell International
– TRW
– Village Supercomputing (phoenix Arizona )
– Wackenhut Corp.
– MITRE Corp.
– Raytheon (including E-Systems)
– Northrop ‘anthill’ (Tejon Ranch)
– McDonnell Douglas corp (Llano Plant)
– Phillips Labs (North Edwards Facility)
– Lockheed Martin Skunkworks including the Denver research Center and the (Helendale Plant) as well as (The Cube)
– Boeing Aerospace (Phantom works division)
– Bechtel corporation (does a lot of the underground base construction for these D.U.M.B.-s)
– Los Alamos National Laboratories
– Lawrence Livermore Labs
My research and sources indicate that the group maintaining this secrecy, at least at a policy level, numbers some 200–300 individuals from a number of countries and represents a powerful array of interests including those connected to financial, technological, security, religious, media, political and scientific areas.
For those who have connections with honest and courageous people in government and law enforcement and seek to expose illegal operations related to this. I will link an image of an NRO document below which contains program code names/numbers (some of which are still active operations) which can hopefully serve as actionable intelligence https://siriusdisclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/NRO-Doc.pdf
Dear Catherine (and Solar staff), Thank you for your courage, insight and hard work in exposing this important piece of the puzzle as we work to create a more just, transparent and honorable society which can become the foundation for living a free and inspired life.
Goodluck and Godspeed.
with gratitude and respect,
-Gavin
