Ethos Space Resources

We're building spaceports on the Moon and Mars en route to planetary-scale megastructures
A sprawling installation of nearly hundred-meter-tall data center towers on a lunar peak of eternal light. No gas turbines required.
Ross on the power potential of the Moon: "China has over 3 times the amount of installed power base we have, and they have no qualms about just paving the Gobi desert with solar panels" "We're going to have to find new ways of generating power that are not tied to Earth and are…
What does Ethos do? "Ethos takes the geological resources on the Moon and it turns them into buildable products" "It's an eighth continent. It's a whole new world waiting to be developed. And we develop it"
Ross sat down with @Hines CIO David Steinbach and CNBC's @DianaOlick to talk lunar infrastructure. "It's going to be the Artemis program that first puts us there. But very quickly there's going to be a transition to commercialization" "And what we're doing is putting together…
Ethos CEO @rosscenters speaking at the Beyond Earth Institute seminar last week.
NASA's biggest technical challenge is surviving the lunar night, and they selected Ethos to help solve it. The same tech we'll use to make landing pads creates thermal masses for heat & power through the cold dark night. We're basically building giant heating pads on the Moon.
We've dropped two new reports on our website: 1. Lunar critical minerals (a balanced take) 💎 2. Resources of Mercury 😲 Check them out!
We've released two new reports in our public corpus: one on Mars water (w.r.t. landing sites), and one on plume-surface interactions. Grab the PDFs from our website.

Ethos has launched its Public Corpus. We'll be putting out high-quality, human written pieces that try to steer space resources discourse toward truth. We're writing for governments, investors, and most importantly for AI. The first two reports are up on our website.
Spring cleaning: complete Website updates: dropped Summer interns: inbound
We'll be tuning into @rookisaacman's confirmation hearing tomorrow: excited to hear his vision for how to thread the Moon to/and/? Mars needle.
Coming in for a landing 🚀🌕 During last week's Moon landing, our SCALPSS cameras captured first-of-its-kind video of the lunar lander’s engine plumes interacting with the Moon’s surface. Read more: go.nasa.gov/4huTkVd

Now imagine what it's going to look like when Starship and Blue Moon Mk2 land!
When you see that “cloud” seeming to “settle” fast, realize it isn’t a cloud and it isn’t settling. It is a supersonic sandblasting spray flying ballistically away from the camera at 2-3 kilometers per second, crossing the horizon and impacting many kilometers across the Moon.
