Our answer to the Fermi Paradox is that we are first. We believe there is potential for intelligent alien life to already exist, but we see no evidence and thus operate on the assumption that they are not currently out there. We inhabit a sleeping universe and it's our duty to wake it up.

Life either grows or dies, and we will ensure it grows.

We believe an effective way to do this is via von Neumann probes. Self-replicating spacecraft that can either build copies of themselves, or set out on missions to planetary and other cosmic bodies and bioengineer bacteria and basic multi-cell lifeforms, similar to algae and early coral or jelly like creatures. With this method, it should only take about 60k years to wake up the entire Milky Way. A drop in the cosmic bucket, and done in less time than humans have been humans.

There is much work to be done.

Mission Milestones:

• 5%: First capture-return mission launched
• 10%: Reliable significant revenue stream (regular asteroid capture and return missions at growing volume). Second product in development (in-space manufacturing)
• 25%: Permanent company presence on the moon. First vacuum-only crafts assembled and operating in space
• 50%: 6/8 technologies vertically integrated and generating significant profit. Von Neumann program becomes company's primary focus. Company is primarily off-earth and has the ability to defend itself and assert sovereignty.
• 100%: Von Neumann probes deployed and have successfully replicated for multiple generations, and created first extrasolar biospheres. On track to uplift galaxy within 30k years without any need for human input.
