The report required by paragraph
(1)shall include an assessment by the Administrator as to whether— a virtual or physical institute relating to space resources is most cost effective and appropriate; and partnering with institutions of higher education and the aerospace industry, and the extractive industry as appropriate, would be effective in increasing information available to such an institute with respect to advancing the objectives described in paragraph (3). The objectives described in this paragraph are the following: Identifying, developing, and distributing space resources, including by encouraging the development of foundational science and technology. Reducing the technological risks associated with identifying, developing, and distributing space resources.
