Galactic Resource Utilization Space (GRU Space) is pioneering the development of off-planet habitats through in-situ resource utilization. This innovative approach transforms locally sourced materials into essential building components. The company's initial project is an ambitious lunar hotel designed for space tourism, with a target opening date of 2032. GRU Space envisions a future where lunar regolith is converted into bricks, showcasing a modular, pressurized habitat system.
The company's roadmap includes establishing a robust lunar infrastructure, encompassing roads, mass drivers, warehouses, and other physical necessities. Expanding beyond the Moon, GRU Space aims to replicate its success on Mars, ultimately constructing the first Martian cities. A core objective is to acquire and manage property on both the Moon and Mars, capitalizing on the growth of these emerging economies. Profits generated will be strategically reinvested into resource utilization systems across various celestial bodies, including asteroids, to achieve its ultimate vision of galactic resource utilization. GRU Space is supported by investors also backing SpaceX and Anduril, and participates in Nvidia's Inception program.
