Abstract
Macroeconomists typically do not examine space because they have insufficient knowledge of the potential economic significance. The Oxford Scenario Planning Approach provided a means to illustrate the intersection of factors affecting both macroeconomists and space policy makers alike. Earth-serving and exo-Earth components both pose opportunities and potential macroeconomic risks for the global (terrestrial) economy which merit further examination. This paper outlines what such an examination might cover.
