The Missing Link / LINK

The Evolution of Exploration and the Role of LINK

Exploration has always been a catalyst for progress. In the 1800s, intrepid explorers ventured into the frontiers of the Americas, sending back reports and imagery that fueled further discoveries and preservation efforts. Artists like Thomas Moran and Albert Bierstadt inspired the protection of natural wonders like Yellowstone and Yosemite, while Frederick Church expanded exploration to the Arctic and South America. However, as terrestrial frontiers diminished, the focus shifted to new domains.

The discovery of America and subsequent trade expansion revolutionized commerce, navigation, and industry, driving rapid global development. Modern industry has now extended this paradigm to the “intergalactic market,” where exploration, trade, and resource acquisition are reshaping humanity’s trajectory.

Today, space represents humanity’s new frontier. The exploration of planets and the stars is forging pathways for innovation, resource acquisition, and commerce, creating unprecedented opportunities for growth. LINK, as a for-profit organization, plays a pivotal role in this transformative era. Its mission is to identify, gather, produce, transport, and sell materials to support and advance the ambitions of other organizations in the space industry.

Beyond its core operations, LINK also addresses the broader implications of space exploration for humanity, embracing diverse perspectives and innovative approaches. With its foundation of knowledge, research, and collaboration, LINK stands as a key enabler of humanity’s adventure into the stars, ensuring sustainable growth and prosperity in the new intergalactic economy.

Statement of Intent

The Missing Link (“LINK”) is established to focus on the business of resources; the acquisition, marketing, and transportation of such. LINK caters to markets, organizations, and individual spacefarers, so that those entities can maintain focus on and achieve their own primary objectives. LINK aims to foster this through a mature, (generally) ethical, and collaborative gaming community where members prioritize teamwork, shared success, and meaningful engagement, balancing enjoyment with personal and collective growth.
