In addition to the fake team, their white paper also contains instances of plagiarism where multiple sources were used without proper citation. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to compile a full report, but I will point out to a few sections that caught my eye upon initial review.

6. Migration of the human population into space: One of the main drivers of space development is provide new locations for people to live, work, and explore. While currently only very few people have been able visit space, the space community today is on a clear path to grow a commercial space tourism industry and establish small but permanent human bases on the Moon and Mars.
6. Inspiration for STEAM education: Beyond economics, a healthy space sector will continue to inspire people young and old about new frontiers, discoveries, and technologies, and foster interest in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) disciplines, which helps create a scientifically literate society able to participate in an increasingly technology-driven world.
Extra-terrestrial colonies and reducing climate change
The amount of scientific evidence supporting climate change is overwhelming, and in as short as 50 years, there is a chance that cities and entire nations may be destroyed by droughts, heat waves, and floods, which would cause a groundwater and crop catastrophe.

Interplanetary protections
Breaching Earth’s atmosphere and orbiting the planet at thousands of miles per hour is no easy feat. Spacecraft, telescopes, and satellites need to be constructed to withstand extreme conditions and the potential hazards of space debris.
Putting safety first in space resulted in equipment like shock absorbers, ice-resistant electronics, and fire retardant materials. These developments help skyscrapers endure earthquakes, keep airplanes from icing over in cold temperatures, and prevent firefighters from sustaining severe burns.
