🩹⛑️ If you ever skinned your knee on the sidewalk as a kid, you probably remember the terrible process of ripping off a band-aid so you could replace it with a new one. GelSana is pioneering innovative biogels that will ease this process and disrupt more than just the first aid kit. Cleragel is an elastic, slightly sticky polymer that is meant to replace traditional bandages. ➕ It has many benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties, moisture regulation, the ability to gradually deliver medication, and prevention of bacteria and contaminant absorption. Not to mention, it’s much less painful to remove and replace. 🦠 🚀 After discovering the biopolymer in her lab at Colorado School of Mines, Melissa Krebs, Ph.D. saw an opportunity for entrepreneurship. “You work your career trying to develop new technologies, and it’s great to contribute to the scientific body of knowledge. But then to be able to have something that truly has clinical potential is an exciting moment,” says Dr. Krebs. “This deserves commercialization.” Only 5 months ago, we shared GelSana's story as a part of the Colorado Tech Spotlight. Since then, they've received an The National Institutes of Health SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) grant for studying a drug/device combination product for healing diabetic wounds. GelSana's presence here in Colorado is helping to feed a vibrant ecosystem of health innovations with the Colorado School of Mines, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, and the Fitzsimmons Innovation Community (to name a few). 🔎 Want to learn more about GelSana's biogels and how they are enhancing wound care?

“Water is the oil of space,” says Dr Angel Abbud-Madrid. 💧 There’s an estimated 100M to 1B tons of H2O per pole on the moon. That’s enough to create rocket propellant for one shuttle launch per day for 2200 years. 🚀 Refueling in space is currently one of the biggest economic drivers of space resources. “Living off the land” in this way will be key for establishing a space economy. #MineTheMoon

This picture never gets old. As the lunar economy gets going, it won't be too long before people will stand on the Moon and watch the Earth rise over the horizon. If we had to guess, they would probably feel an intense longing for home. So many things are going to be difficult for those pioneers. The Moon is nearly 240,000 miles away from Earth. There's no life, no air, no liquid water, no friends or family. Despite these challenges and the other risks, people will go. Whether they're following economic incentives or yearning to explore and settle the final frontier, people will go the Moon. Our closest celestial neighbor gives us the tides. It stabilizes our climate by moderating Earth's wobble in its axis. It's also a potent cultural symbol for so many of us. It's easy to get caught up in the tech and the incentives when we talk about creating a lunar economy and pursuing space resources. But we can't forget what it's all for. People. #MineTheMoon

The tech going into Moon mining is mind blowing 🤯 It starts with spacecraft, communications, satellites, and next-gen IT systems 🛰 🚀 💽 That includes AI and quantum. We'll see quantum sensors, such as atomic clocks for position, navigation, and timing (PNT) in the near-term, and we expect to see quantum computing and quantum machine learning to make an impact in the future ⚛ 🕑 Foundational lunar industry infrastructure such as power systems and robotics will be necessary in order to begin resource extraction ⚡ ⛏ Resources must then be processed, and the refined materials can then either be exported back to Earth or utilized on the Moon, such as with additive manufacturing, to build out infrastructure, create rocket fuel, or support human life. This graphic is far from the entire story. So many technologies are going to be involved, and systems engineering is going to another big challenge on top of developing individual innovations. In our blog, we detail some of the space resources technologies being developed in Colorado that we're keeping an eye on.

It's hard to imagine a more precious resource than water on the Moon 💧 You could walk the length of the entire Sahara searching for water, and you'd only have covered 1.25% of the distance between Earth and the Moon 😥 But water on the Moon isn't just for hydrating astronauts 👩🚀 Water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen via electrolysis, and the resulting elements can then be used as feedstock for rocket propellant 🚀 According to a report by space resources professors from Colorado School of Mines in collaboration with other industry experts, the near-term annual demand of lunar-derived propellant is expected to reach 500 tons. That means 2,700 tons of lunar water will need to be extracted and processed. It also means an estimated $2.4B in annual revenue.

Let's look at the economic incentives driving the lunar gold rush 💰 It comes down to valuable elements that are extremely scarce here on Earth ⛏ Helium-3 is a rare isotope that's promising for nuclear fusion, superconductor manufacturing, and other advanced tech ⚛ NASA estimates that there are over 1 million tons of it on the Moon's surface 🌕 Rare earth metals are another target. They are essential for semiconductors, magnets, and so many of the other components that go into electronics and clean energy technologies 💎 Right now, China controls 90% of the rare earth supply 🇨🇳 Between growing demand and a fragile supply, advanced industries are looking to the Moon for rare earths.
