On the Path to Space Mining and a Cosmic Sustainable Way of Socio-Natural Interaction

Summary/Abstract: The transition of the world community to sustainable development will require not only the achievement of global sustainability, but also the same type of development outside the planet, especially in the case of space mining. By joining the cosmonautics, sustainable space mining will contribute to the formation of an extraterrestrial basis for the future wide exploration of space by mankind and a new way of social and natural interaction. This will be, on the one hand, a continuation of earthly material production, but on the other hand, a completely new process due to the interaction of man with the extraterrestrial environment. A mode of production will begin to take shape, increasingly different from the current “planetary-production” way, which is appropriate to give the name of “production — cosmic” and the main features of which have yet to be identified. However, since humanity will simultaneously continue to inhabit the planet and settle beyond it, the aggregate way of interaction between nature and society will be their mutual earth-space combination (complex).
