I propose the concept of the development of the Earth predecessor of the future world space industry in the form of a network structure. And the idea of creating a cell of this network structure, within the framework of the Asgardia project. Working together with Asgardia, for the sake of a more rapid development of the new space-age industry and for the rapid movement of humanity towards the transition to the cosmic level.
 
I welcome the participants of the Asgardia forum.
I am an extra-system innovator, a supporter of the development of space expansion and a new industrial way of life.
These two tendencies are interconnected with each other, due to the fact that the technologies of the new industrial structure will enable large-scale industrial development of space.
The main difference of the new way from the traditional industry in the methods of production. Modern industry is based on highly specialized machine tools. And complex production chains that use a variety of different machines to get what you want, a complex product. For example, such as a car, or an airplane.
The new industrial structure is based on the "Digital Production", the creation of products on the digital template. Manufacture of products by the method of adding material on a digital model, this is the so-called "Additive production method", which uses 3D printers. The main difference between digital and traditional production is that it allows you to obtain products of a high level of complexity directly from the raw materials. In this case, there is no need for complex production chains with many machines and assembly lines. Virtually any part can be printed from the raw material on one universal machine. If you assemble several 3D printers and assembly manipulators on a miniature production site. You can get a "Micro factory" capable of producing products of a high level of complexity and manufacturability, such as cars, industrial equipment, or other micro factories. The technology of "replication", machines that can produce copies of themselves - "Replicas", is now known. Some models of 3D printers are capable of printing sets of parts from which they are assembled. But so far, the technology of replicator machines has not been brought to a high level of perfection.
When the technologies of digital production and replication are brought to a certain level of perfection, on their basis, it is possible to make space micro factories - replicators, "Production modules". Have weight and cost, comparable to modern satellites or modules of manned stations. Such a production module - a replicator working in conjunction with a universal robot, delivered to sources of resources, can make a large number of its duplicates and robots in a few months or years. Hundreds, or thousands of machines. After that, by the forces of this grouping, robots, cybernetic workers, and a multitude of micro factories, one can begin to create a permanent industry and infrastructure. In this way, it is possible to create industrial enterprises and bases in space, by sending only one bundle of the production module - the replicator and the robot.
On 3D printers in space, high-tech parts, such as electronics and instruments, can not be printed, they will have to be delivered from the ground. But the weight of knowledge-intensive details is relatively small. And to supply the extraterrestrial industry with knowledge-intensive details, not the first stages, standard missiles will suffice. And further, space transport systems of new generations will start to develop.   

The beginning of a full-scale industrial development of space has always been the primary goal of the development of space exploration. Industrial colonization of the cosmos, this transformation of the solar system into the field of activity and the habitat of people, its assimilation. This is access to unlimited resources, allowing to create an economy of general prosperity. And the transition of mankind to the level of cosmic civilization.
Only at the modern level of technology, the creation of the space industry could not be approached. The main obstacle is the high cost of delivering to space the traditional industrial equipment. Transfer to space, analogues of modern industrial enterprises, based on a set of highly specialized machines and complex production chains, this mega costs.
The transition to a new industrial structure will give an opportunity to lead the industrialization of space through replicator machines. It is enough to deliver to the right place one production module, with a robot, it will make thousands of its copies and robots, group robots by commands from the ground, build bases and industrial enterprises. These enterprises will begin mass production of transport, spacecraft, and replicator machines, for further distribution of the "seeds of industry", in the solar system. Caravans of transport ships built on alien plants, will begin to supply the land with valuable resources. Such as, precious metals and rare earth elements, titanium, aluminum, alloying metals, and later, iron. Space industry firms will spend on the first machines replicators of billions of dollars, but will receive hundreds of billions of profits. Space resources will cause an increase in the terrestrial economy by trillions. And this is only at the first stages of the growth of the space industry, in the first 10 - 15 years. At the next stage, the capacity of the space industry will equal the terrestrial industry, and the colonization of space will become the main direction of the development of the terrestrial economy.
The industrialization of space with the help of replicator machines will not be super-expensive, but will be more profitable and quick.
Now the technologies of digital production and replication have not yet reached a sufficient level of perfection, for the creation of space production modules - replicators. But reaching the right level is not such a distant prospect. The necessary technologies will appear on the mass market, in about 10 to 15 years. If a large firm or government structure, with good funding, sets a goal, to create a space module - a replicator, and will concentrate on its development the necessary resources, it will be able to make a workable machine for 1 to 2 years. Only now machines replicators, can not yet become massive and not expensive.
When the machines replicators become massive, the way to mass industrialization of the cosmos will be opened.
Therefore, the prospect of global space expansion depends not so much on modern space programs as on the transition of the world industry to a new industrial structure.
Modern space programs, go in the mainstream of the strategy that was formed during the space race. Their goals, scientifically demonstrative, conduct research, raise the authority rating in a particular state. But industrialization or colonization of space in the mainstream of the strategy - "Racing for records", is not expected. In fact, this is the stage of research and experiments. State-of-the-art space programs also aim at the next scientific demonstration achievements, such as the creation of scientific bases on the Moon or Mars. But from the point of view of practical development of the solar system and world space expansion, the main frontier to which one should strive is the creation of the world space industry. The beginning of mass industrialization of the cosmos will make humanity a cosmic civilization. Research bases on other planets, only an intermediate stage. Therefore, for an effective move to the main frontier of space expansion, the main focus should be on creating the space industry. This movement depends mainly on the development of a new industrial structure in the modern world industry. Progress in the development of a qualitatively new industry based on the technologies of a new industrial structure is the main direction of the real, rather than demonstrative, movement of humanity into the space age.   

Progress in the development of the new industrial structu{re is now going quite confidently, although not as fast as it is possible in principle. The new industrial structure is already part of the global industry, but has not yet become a mass one. It did not become the basis of world industry. To some extent, the new way, as well as modern space exploration, "hangs at the research stage." He's all right with technology, but not very well with practicality.
At the present stage, for the world economy, space, production modules are replicators are not very necessary. Earthmoving machines and mini-factory replicators, for garage production, are much more important, since they will make the industry ubiquitous throughout the planet, and capable of growing like a leap. Before the industrialization of space, industry will come with time, according to its evolutionary logic.
I am a supporter of pushing a new industrial way to mobilization development. Because this is the future of mankind. This is a qualitatively new industry, which has lightning fast high growth rates, which are tens of times superior to modern ones. Able to spread quickly in a new, undeveloped space, such as developing countries, sparsely populated and backward regions on earth. Or the entire space of the solar system, in which there are many resources, but supply from the ground is difficult, and there is no infrastructure at all.
But society and business should not harass mobilization jerks from power or big capital, they must organize themselves and move towards their goals, otherwise they will not see results for a long time.
We can not count on the fact that the states will take the lead in the development of space expansion. The authorities have always used scientifically demonstration space programs only to strengthen their status. States and the big capital of interest never showed to the industrialization of space. Just as they do not show much interest in the new industrial order. The states and clans that manage finances, the structures are rather archaic and ossified, they look not so much in the future as in the past. They try to preserve the traditional way of life from any significant changes. I think it's pointless to wait for them to be active in the struggle for the future, and I think that there are new revolutions in industry and cosmonautics.
The main initiatives in the qualitatively new development of cosmonautics, alternative space projects, and initiatives in the development of digital production come from extra-systemic innovators. Revolutionary development of industry and the colonization of space are not needed by the authorities and large financial capital, they are needed by entrepreneurs and society. As entrepreneurs see in them new opportunities, and society sees in them a confident growth of the quality of life and their future. Consequently, the main initiative, and the leading role, in the development of space expansion in the hands of innovators and entrepreneurs. And the main support, and the demand for space expansion in the hands of the broad masses, civil society.
In order to get the world space industry in the near future, it is necessary to start creating a new world industry in the near future on the ground based on the same principles and technologies that will be relevant in the future space industry and in the space industry of the space period. To the new industry began to develop on the ground, in favorable conditions, but later at a certain stage, continued its growth in space. We need to create a direction, a trend, of world industrial development, leading into space.  
 

This can be done by creating a qualitatively new, terrestrial, mass industry based on the same principles and technologies that will be relevant in the future space industry. And on earth in the cosmic period of the development of world civilization. Such an industry, based on space age standards - the Space Age Industry, will first develop on the earth, being a functional predecessor and the foundation of the future space industry. At the earthly stage of development, its main task is to prepare the world industry for the transition to outer space. Form a mass, global industry, the core of which is based on the technologies of digital production and replication. When the industry of the space age, accumulate sufficient financial resources and industrial capacities, will bring up the necessary technologies to a high level, it will be able to continue its further development outside the land. Going into space for the resources of the moon and asteroids. The transition to outer space can begin in 10 to 15 years. In the historical perspective, the period is not long. And at the same time, the industrialization of space will begin immediately on a global scale. If the whole world industry starts to move into space, then, accordingly, all mankind will start living at the expense of space resources, become a customer and participant in the assimilation of outer space, will move into the space age.
According to this scenario of development, first a new industrialization on earth, then a massive emergence of a new industry into space. Mankind can go to the level of cosmic civilization in 10-15 years. The term is comparable with a large business project, a major infrastructure construction, or with building a personal career. Or with the implementation of a large scientific space program, such as the ISS, or a scientific, lunar base.
For comparison, if we develop the extraterrestrial industry through space programs, constantly expanding at each new stage. First, experimental production on the ISS, then the base on the moon, then the construction of orbital solar power plants, then the construction of extractive enterprises on asteroids. As modern analysts of space administrations suppose. The space industry will be able to reach volumes comparable to the world economy in the most optimistic case in 30-40 years. This is the time of active life of one generation of people. And such a result is far from assured. It will become realistic only if all major countries and corporations recognize the industrialization of outer space as an important goal for further development. They will begin to actively invest in the creation of the space industry, develop an effective strategy for the development of space industrialization, agree among themselves for the optimal distribution of roles. The probability of such a scenario is not high. Judging by the plans of the space administrations, in 30-40 years the scientific bases on the Moon and Mars should be ready, and experimental practical development of alien raw material resources, lunar and asteroid soil, should begin. That is, according to official plans, by this time, the exploration of outer space should still be at the stage of experiments.
The proposed concept for the development of the world space industry through a preliminary stage of growth on the earth, makes it possible to start the transition of the world industry into space in 10-15 years. And at the same time, immediately on a global scale. This is the scenario of a rapid and confident transition of mankind into the space age. Effective and affordable direction of development of space expansion.  
 

The best form of organization for the space age industry is the network structure. Based on information communications and business communities linked by common goals and common interests - "Partner networks".
The use of information communications in the business networks as the basic organizing force - Information Centralism, allows information networks to take on the functions of traditional vertically integrated structures such as state power, bureaucracy, and large, centralized finance. At the same time, network organizational structures will be much more intelligent and flexible, well adapted to the constantly changing environment, inevitable due to the rapid development of technologies and reformatting of markets.
The space industry will be decentralized, "Garazhnoy". Accordingly, it is well suited decentralized, network, organizational structure. The bureaucracy and banks will only slow it down. Instead of bureaucracy, the network industry will have a system of horizontal links between the participants and a network of focal points. Instead of the banking system, there will be a decentralized, financial system in which finance will move without intermediary banks, from one participant to another. In addition to traditional currencies, as a means of payment, shares and crypto-currencies will be widely used.
Simultaneously with the traditional institutions of state power, alternative political systems will work in the network industry, such as. Network self-organization is "Netocracy (Network Power)", based on direct interaction of focal points with participants through information communications. And Ordinsky structures, well-structured volunteer communities, based on the community of participants for personal purposes, regardless of social status, territory and nation. Modern analogues, medieval knight orders.

Unlike the traditional bureaucracy, in the network communities the transfer of power and control over financial flows is not transmitted from the top to the bottom, but from the bottom up, and is not based on coercion, but on trust. Ordinary participants in real time and without intermediaries, decide with which focal point to work and to which center to invest their funds. With such an organization, focal points that have lost their trust, automatically remain without money and without influence. Depart from the market and from the network. This greatly hampers corruption and the opportunities for manipulating the masses, typical of vertical organizational structures.
To create and develop a network industry, there is no need for support of power and financing, it can do without them perfectly. Because in itself is the organizing force and source of money.
The core of the space-age industry will be a decentralized, garage, manufacturing industry based on digital production and replication technologies, but in the space age industry, there will also be many different industries and activities. Since this industry serves as a prototype of not only the future space industry, but also the predecessor of the terrestrial, mass industry of the future, which will dominate the earth after the beginning of the colonization of the cosmos. The space industry will be designed for the production and maintenance of mechanisms, so it will be based on the machines of replicators and robots. The Earth industry of the space age, will be designed in part for production, partly for the servicing of people, it will include traditional mass industries such as construction, food, services, and the organization of living space.
For an easier and quick start to the network industry of the space era, the main focus I plan to focus not on production, but on secondary activities such as the construction and food industries. Low-tech and low-cost projects, from these industries, designed for small businesses, can be quickly disseminated in the business environment through publications. And at the starting stage, develop the first cells of the network through trade. Engaged in the popularization and sale of goods and technologies that meet the criteria of the space age industry, which are already on the market now.

At the first stages of development, the network will bring together the rudiments of the space-age industry that are already on the market, will begin to develop simple and cheap business projects. Combining projects in one common trend, the movement of humanity to a civilization of the cosmic level. Such an approach will make it possible to create a network industry practically from zero and in a short time. And further, when the network grows, will accumulate production capacities and financial resources, the development of the manufacturing industry and expensive, highly technological business projects will begin.
Advantages of network organization for the first participants, initiators, in the possibility of rapid transfer of their business to a global scale. Coordination centers, and technology incubators on the network, will receive a few percent of the profits of ordinary participants copying their activities. Globally, these few percent will turn an ordinary small business project into a thousand dollars, into a start-up per million. Or a student science and technology center in a start-up for a billion. Examples of such garage start-ups that create world-wide industrial networks, such as Apple or Microsoft, are known, but through network structures such projects will evolve many times easier and faster. And, besides, the network gives new opportunities for entrepreneurial activity related to trade and information trends, allowing any active freelancer to create his own, global, sales network, quickly and practically without costs.
To start the project of the space industry of the space age, we do not need big money, no big knowledge, support of state structures or banks, there is no speech at all. It is enough to have a cell of several people, supporters of the idea of developing space expansion through the network industry, ready to work.

Structure of the organization Asgardia, this is a copy of the traditional nomenklatura, state, system of organization, with a touch of network and Ordin structure. Since the structure is global, based on information communications and the unification of enthusiasts around a common global goal. Asgardia as the main goal, declares the creation of the first cosmic nation that has its own state. In my concept, the network of space expansion supporters is a network structure, without attempts to copy government structures, the main purpose of which is to serve as the flagship of the transition of the world civilization to the cosmic level of development. The structure and goals of Asgardia and the "Network Community of Space Expansion" are similar in many respects and do not contradict each other. I propose to create a community cell space expansion within Asgardia, and in turn is ready to promote the popularization of Asgardia and the development of its economic activities. In my concept of network structure, a more accessible and more accessible and more effective concept for the development of the "Subcosmic" industry and economy. In particular, there is a more accessible and confident scenario for the development of the industrialization of space, which can be started in the future for several years, if it is possible to find sources of financing, or strong players who are ready to work within the framework of this concept.
Alternatively, Asgardia's participation in major infrastructure projects, such as the creation of cosmodromes, a fleet of reusable rockets, the first orbital industrial centers, on the basis of orbital stations, next-generation satellite systems, or a resource base on the moon, can be considered. For the network structure, large projects are not needed at the growth stage, this is an extra ballast, but the network structure has high growth rates of capital. Asgardia could take on the role of the creator of a promising space infrastructure, with a future commitment, working in partnership with networks. In this case, networks can serve as a source of financing and demand for infrastructure projects. And for networks, partner projects of perspective space infrastructure, with Asgardia and related companies, will serve as an investment in the future. In the creation of a bridge between the earth's industry and the cosmic bridge. At the same time, they are more disposed to actions and to cooperation than states and corporations connected with financial capital.
   
Modern states and big capital have actually abandoned the idea of fighting for the future, they need stability and power. But the modern information space provides opportunities for any person to become an active player in the struggle for the future of civilization. Progress and new heights in the development of civilization are necessary for enthusiasts and ordinary participants. The future is in our hands!
