Taksha Alliance for a Space Economy (TASE)

Introduction

Resources on Earth, while precious, are but a tiny fraction of those within the Near Solar System. In the evolving Space Economy, most raw materials, suppliers, manufacturing and customers will be located elsewhere, with Earth being a pleasant and treasured vacation place. The Taksha Alliance for a Space Economy (TASE) is an Alliance to facilitate the evolution and transition to such an economy.  This starts with ensuring restoration and care for Nature on Earth, and global collaboration in every aspect of the Space Economy.

The development of Smart Villages on Earth, enabling Reverse Migration from crowded cities to pleasant and viable rural life, a future with distributed, sustainable energy independence, cleaning up our air, water, soil and oceans, acoustic, sensory and electromagnetic environment, managing climate evolution, and achieving equitable, caring growth, are all parts of advancing our civilization and hence part of the mission of TASE. Welcome to our grand endeavor.

TASE’s first director is Narayanan Komerath.
