The Midas Program is the first direct commercial exploitation of resources in outer space. Conceived in 1957 by an aging Adrianus Orilla, the initiative involved building mining sites on celestial bodies to extract internal minerals. While an immensely ambitious undertaking, its success have proved to be the single most profitable endeavor over the whole course of human history. In his memoirs, Emperor Raphael briefly discusses his later involvement in the project and why he made the decision to restart it. Translated, and reorganized, into idiomatic English, this is an excerpt :

  • The Midas Program is the first direct commercial exploitation of resources in outer space. Conceived in 1957 by an aging Adrianus Orilla, the initiative involved building mining sites on celestial bodies to extract internal minerals. While an immensely ambitious undertaking, its success have proved to be the single most profitable endeavor over the whole course of human history. In his memoirs, Emperor Raphael briefly discusses his later involvement in the project and why he made the decision to restart it. Translated, and reorganized, into idiomatic English, this is an excerpt : The Midas Program ran from 1957 to 1998 after which time a new initiative in the area of asteroid mining was begun by present Caesar Cicero. Since its inception, Midas saw the colonization of 36 asteroids and minor planets and the creation of a network for interplanetary travel. Much as Raphael predicted, it was the primary cause of a Golden Age in the modern era. Many advancements in Roman infrastructure, both on this planet and many others, would have been impossible if not for the resources and economic stimulus provided by the Midas Program.
