Abstract

This paper presents MoonShine, an integrated 20-year roadmap to elevate humanity to a Type I Kardashev civilization by achieving ∼ 10’16 W of sustainable power. Key innovations include in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) on the Moon, fully automated self-replicating robotic factories with automatic repair capabilities to counteract space debris, hybrid laser-microwave power transmission, and an AI-governed control infrastructure. We detail technological modules, quantitative growth models (22% annual power expansion), economic scenarios, ecological safe- guards, and a new supranational governance framework: the Lunar-Earth Energy Alliance (LEEA). Risk analyses cover debris mitigation, climate feedback, geopolitical stability, and system resilience. We show that through synergy of current breakthroughs in materials science, AI, robotics, and energy conversion, the MoonShine project can deliver planetary energy sovereignty and climate management, setting the stage for Mars and beyond.
