NASA's Perseverance Rover MOXIE Makes Oxygen on Mars

We are in the beginning of digital transformation into the Information Age where micro robots and advanced manufacturing lead to new types of technology that will soon become part of our daily lives (i.e. toasters and television). What was seen only in science fiction comic books a few decades ago is now reality. Creating oxygen on planets (solid oxide electrolysis) not only opens these planets to experimental stations that host human inhabitants but also additional research into biomechatronic that can lead to mining new substances off of interplanetary stations (new rare metals that lead to emergent technologies). Managing rapid innovation will require adjustments in economic policies that lead to enhanced development of new technologies (i.e. development of entrepreneurial clusters) to reach those goals. The normal process of information transference and innovation (adaptation) across geographically dispersed regions within multiple industries may not function well when we need to bump multiple associated industries into uncharted territory quickly (space, military, advanced manufacturing, distribution, mining/metals, etc..). Because of the huge unknown potentials there may be first in market advantages to nations/companies that can get up there and create new discoveries. 🤷Working on a transactional cluster theory of industry innovation which will hopefully help better understanding how to infuse R&D and entrepreneurial/intellectual capital into a specific locations to create faster paced developmental/innovative system that leads to advanced prototype/small batch production products HERE that can be considered for larger scale production national/internationally. Its not finished so don't judge too harshly because there is some gap filling and rewrites needed 😬
