**6. Conclusions**

In a few years, space resources, space economics and the space race in general have had a major boost from private-public partnerships, as well as from the space narratives of (now many) Earth governmental entities. The now nearly weekly launch or test of SpaceX rockets, the ever-growing number of space related startups, the various economic pressures they generate on well-established slow R&D turn over space mammoths is as much a breath of fresh air that it is a renewed psychological return to space for humanity.

While research on human in space and microgravity is on a full swing in ISS, humans' adaptation to planetoids/moons of lower gravity than Earth can be fastforwarded on the Moon alongside many more practical research and logistical developments about actually living on a planetoid/moon.

The space ecosystem for humans' explorers, resources acquisition and settlements requirements are all identified. The first part of the Chinese Earth orbital space station is in LEO for several months already. The ISS has the largest crew onboard for a long time, increasing the space experience of more people at the same time. The first fully commercial crew flying and staying onboard ISS is the Axiom Ax-1 crew (shuttled by a SpaceX Dragon-Crew capsule) in April 2022. The commercial space station *Orbital Reef* is now is early phases (Orbital [44]), the *Axiom* space station too [45].

The NASA Moon orbital Gateway to Mars, the PRC-lead International Lunar Research Station, are all effectively getting built. SpaceX is sending tourists around the Moon (Yusaku Maezawa and 10–12 artists) by 2023 on a 6 days trip to lunar circumvolution. NASA selected SpaceX to land people on the Moon initially by 2023, then by 2025, thought it might still take more time (NASA [46]), NASA issued a second round of call in March 2022 for other commercial Moon landing options, reaching the Moon surface by an initially stated target of 2027 [47].

The Moon is *de facto* a gravity well for our expanding civilization and its willingness to enlarge its dimension of economics of resources, as a proxy of developmental support. As importantly, it enravels a primordial corollary, making us, humans, an Earth-Moon species. Shall we?
