 EMECO - Bringing the Galaxy Closer to Home Muah ha! Ive had another of my many great visions...
Ok. Imagine like in 200 years time where our resources on Earth start to get thin (assumption). Also, at this time our understanding of Space (as in planets and shit) improves. So then, we start to look into space for answers (Materials, Minerals...).
Emeco (Extraterrestrial Material Extraction Company) aims to do just that. With its advanced space travel technology, it can construct and launch gigantic galactic freighters that land on a Planet or Moon (with resources) and extract them, return home and sell to the highest bidder.
Of course, It may only be profitable to extract the most valuable minerals that we find here on Earth VERY rare...
In any case, this is assuming that there ARE valuable resources elsewhere and that we WILL be in need of them. But in any case, it sounds like a nice idea.

You're not the first one with this idea. What about making space flight itself more profitable?

What resources are you talking about exactly? Minerals and such .. i don't know if they're that crucial, unless you're playing some RTS-game.
If you're talking oil, coal .. those reserves will probably be exhausted within 50 years.
Btw if we have the technology to get our materials on other planets, we can assume we have the technology to just build outer space colonies, so why bring it here if you can just move over there, saves you the trip backwards
