Human lunar exploration activities are undergoing a historic transition from technological verification to a dual focus on scientific discovery and resource exploitation. The development and utilization of Earth−Moon space resources has become a strategic high ground in global space competition, prompting major spacefaring nations to actively position themselves in this strategic domain. This paper examines the material, positional, and environmental resource characteristics of Earth−Moon space, analyzing the synergistic value of material resources (including lunar regolith, water ice, and minerals) and positional resources (such as frequency and orbital slots) within integrated systems for communication, navigation, remote sensing, transportation, and in−situ resource utilization. The maturation of in−situ resource conversion/manufacturing technologies, space−Earth integrated information backbone networks, and reusable transportation systems will provide robust support for cultivating new productive capacities, reshaping deep space exploration paradigms, and establishing Earth−Moon economic ecosystems. Finally, it proposes establishing a "resource−technology−engineering−commerce" closed−loop through international collaboration and technology integration, leveraging the pioneering role of the International Lunar Research Station to advance sustainable utilization of Earth−Moon space and coordinated development of mega−science projects.
