Boilerplate:
Foothold develops modular production infrastructure for Mars. Instead of shipping finished infrastructure that depreciates on arrival, Foothold ships production modules that appreciate with time through continuous on-site output. Phase 1 converts raw regolith into usable materials and separated gases; Phase 2 turns refined materials into components; Phase 3 produces equipment and product assemblies. Foothold sells and services the production capability—customers decide what to build with the outputs.
