Our True Context

Debt Based Monetary Architecture

The features of the debt Instruments with which we back the creation of money, bind the species to calendar time.

Rodent Economics

Challenges of Financing Space Exploration

• The value pillars of current finance theory and practice are risk and time, leaving space formally unrepresented.

• The cash flow expectations of space related projects and the magnitude of the risks involved are a challenge.

• Space needs a valuation principle that goes beyond time and risk.

• We need a Space Value of Money principle to reflect the expansive nature of the universe into our financial models.

Space Value of Money

Time Value of Money

Risk and Return

Space Value of Money

Space Value of Money is the aggregate net asset impact of cash flows, taking into account monetary as well as real socioeconomic and technological factors. Space Value of Money is a function of the nature of the assets it creates or utilizes, and the mode of utilization or creation.

Our Financial Imagination and Space

We are the inventors of money, and our financial imagination is as key as our technological imagination when it comes to extending our reach into the cosmos.

We owe ourselves healthy societies and healthy economies,and we owe it debt-free.

A New and Parallel Product For Money Creation

PCNs can be used to inject new money through a logic of wealth creating public investments,rather than debt.

Stimulating growth and innovation, PCNs allow the channeling of funds into real industry projects, adding value while creating new activity.

SPENDING

If money can be backed by a deposit in the other branch of the same bank,it sure can be backed by Public Capitalization notes that create incomeand stimulate the economy effectively.

40 Billion USD for NASA and the Space Industry this December!

The Federal Reserve could invent the next monthly 40 billion USD via a PCN that allocates the funding to the space exploration industry through NASA, rather than to the banks via Mortgage Backed Securities.

An ideal stimulus package that creates new projects, income, and revenues, whileAdvancing our technological and scientific reach.

StrategicallyIt is possible to allocate 2 Trillion USD through a PCN program over a 5 Year Periodto unleash a technological big bang and build space infrastructure capabilities.

A Possible Platform for a Space PCN

A green structure

A business hub

A hot spot for innovation

A museum of the future

A collaborative platform

An outreach and education center

An investment vehicle

On the 6th of June 2012, with the Transit of Venus, ISDHub JV submitted a proposal to NASA Ames to transform HANGAR ONE from a parking space into a space platform.
