Emerging Industries: 3D Printing 3D printing was a $2.2 billion operation in 2012, and by 2015, that estimate is projected to increase to $3.7 billion. The 3D printing industry (hardware, software and services) will grow to a $5.1 billion market by 2018. Large scale 3D printed manufacturing is in development for Earth based commercialization and space colonization using Moon/Mars source materials. General Electric is expecting to use 3D printers to help build their nextgeneration jet engines, and projects by 2020 to have nearly 100,000 3D printed components integrated into their jet engines. The potential economic impact is so great that the federal government has awarded $30 million to establish the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII) in Youngstown, Ohio. NAMII is a consortium of community colleges, manufacturing firms, non profits and universities, who have matched the award with an additional $40 million. The Institute will be tasked with several functions, including assisting small manufacturers, and training the future workforce in additive manufacturing techniques. 3D printers may eventually become a permanent fixture in both the office and home, becoming a trillion dollar industry in just a few decades. As such, California could position itself to reap huge economic benefits from the continued expansion of the 3D printing industry. 49 The Developing Space Economy for Commercial Space and Entrepreneurship
Emerging Industries: Quantum Computing Potential applications for quantum computers are numerous, and additional applications will undoubtedly follow as the industry develops. One of the applicable areas is in astrobiology and medicine. As astrobiology and medicine advance, large volumes of data require analysis to draw conclusions. Quantum computers are key in the space industry. Complex spacecraft models improve and adapt with quantum computing. Modeling with quantum computers also benefits weather systems and chemical reactions. Quantum computers can advance cryptology with advanced encryption capabilities that far exceed traditional encryption sequencing, vastly improving the security of cyberspace and the interoperability of devices in space. The Canadian government has invested nearly $500 million. The founder of BlackBerry, Mike Lazaridis, has invested more than $250 million at the University of Waterloo s Institute of Quantum Computing, with the intent of commercializing quantum computers. Quantum computers will eventually replace current computers, which will translate into off the chart economics. As it currently stands, one computer electronics manufacturing job also creates 16 other jobs. Substantial economic activity will follow. Between 2017 and 2022 the quantum computing industry is projected to grow nearly 140%. 50 The Developing Space Economy for Commercial Space and Entrepreneurship
More Emerging Industries and Technology Underwater Habitats Applications for habitats and labs underwater may impact space settlement. Habitat design, computing and shielding from elements and pressures may cross pollinate and offer additional market opportunities to space companies. Will a torus surrounded by water provide cheap shielding and storage in space?

Case Study: Mojave Air and Spaceport Several states have already taken direct action to support the establishment of a spaceport. The most notable is the New Mexico spaceport, which opened in 2011 at a cost of $209 million, paid for by the taxpayers. It is already attracting thousands of visitors as a tourist destination. Because of the unique industry requirements, spaceports must have specialized capabilities, requiring a substantial investment and a complex federal operating permit process. Given the virtually unprecedented growth of the commercial spaceflight industry, the potential return on investment makes initial financing a worthy endeavor. That is one of the primary reasons why a growing number of state governments are taking actions to establish a spaceport. Mojave includes space companies Virgin Galactic, XCOR and others alongside the former Space Shuttle Program landing area at Edwards Air Force Base. Spaceports attract spaceflight companies, creating additional high wage jobs and serving as a major tourist destinations, increasing economic revenues. Including a space related research park and a business incubator in the spaceport locality plan advances the commercial spaceflight industry with support resources and catalyzes the development of a highly skilled workforce, all of which translate into substantial tax revenue. 52 The Developing Space Economy for Commercial Space and Entrepreneurship
Space Industry Special Economic Zones As a means to encourage economic growth & development, some nations have established a variety of Special Economic Zones (SEZs), regions that have reduced tax and regulatory burdens. Some SEZs in the United States support the space industry. Many countries have established space, astronomy, computing and other economic development SEZs, including Russia, India, China, Pakistan, Malaysia and the Philippines. Establishing a Space Industry SEZ maximizes an area s ability to attract and retain space entrepreneurs via spaceflight specific tax incentives. For example, states offer: Investment tax credit of 25% for purchases on all machinery and equipment specific to spaceflight R&D and operations Up to 20 years of corporate income tax credits equal to 5% of total capital costs for new and expanding infrastructure, predicated on a minimum $25 million investment State income tax exemption for first two years of operation State franchise tax exemption for first two years of operation 53 The Developing Space Economy for Commercial Space and Entrepreneurship
