One of the most difficult aspect of building a business in a sector that doesn't exist is getting people to understand how and why it's important. So, CEO Daniel Sax has teamed up with a journalist focused on resources to describe the scope of the opportunity ahead of Canadians.
@ExnerPirot and my #oped out today in the @globeandmail on why Canada has a tremendous opportunity with space mining, one that favours first movers, and it should expedite capitalizing on. @csmc_scms @MLInstitute https://t.co/WE6XEh0ttb

An important way that space research and exploration is of immediate and practical benefit to Canadians is the application of results to remote communities. Especially in the area of health, Canadians have already seen important dividends from programs like the CSA's Health Beyond.
BREAKING NEWS: The @csa_asc has selected @csmc_scms to produce one of the 5 C2M2 prototypes for its flagship #healthbeyond program. This is an incredible opportunity to advance the state of health technology. https://t.co/PpLE93jje8 pic.twitter.com/foi6iEuhtY

CSMC will be delivering a concept for a modular medical clinic that can be delivered to First Nations and remote communities in Canada. We believe we can deliver key technology which that positively impact the lives of people, and provide critical infrastructure in a scaleable way that addresses the immediate need to improve the delivery of health services in Canada. This closely aligns with CSMC's philosophy of building dual-use technologies that fill long term gaps in space, but have an immediate need and market on earth.
It takes a village though, and CSMC has assembled a diverse team of partners (to be announced) to build this first prototype, and scale this healthcare business well beyond that, including the considerations in real estate, technology, healthcare, and First Nations.

Founder Daniel Sax acknowledges the legal frameworks for resource development in space are either outdated or too sketchy to be of practical value. There is a lot of work domestically and internationally to improve the situation before the first missions even leave Earth.
Humanity’s return to the moon requires space resources produced and consumed in situ in order to sustain it. Here's what some space law experts think the rules are. Lots of work remains to be done at an intentional level. @csmc_scms https://t.co/qtYu07oXkO @jbernstien

CSMC is very excited to announce that we were awarded a contract by the @csa_asc to help shape a vision for the future of the Canadian space program on the moon and beyond. CSMC believes Canada will lead the world in space resources, for the benefit of the life on earth. #ISRU https://t.co/He2R0LYgmu pic.twitter.com/ao4yRXEuDX
