Unlimited Resources From Space – Asteroid Mining [EDU Science]

 Unlimited Resources From Space – Asteroid Mining

Casually watching some videos and reading blogs on your computer, the device about which humanity could not even think a decade ago.

All these smart gadgets we are using today are made up of some precious and raw materials such as Terbium, Neodymium, Tantalum.


The mining industries are responsible for taking out this raw material plus they are also responsible for causing air pollution, land pollution, and destroying the whole landscape.



"But what if we could replace this dirty mining process , with a whole new process that will not harm anyone. "


Yes, we could!!

All we need to do is look up, asteroids contain millions and trillions of metals and raw materials that we need today to make the gadgets. Such as 16 Psyche can fulfill our needs for hundreds of years because it contains gold, nickel, platinum, iron that worth $1,000,000,000,000,000.

Then what is the problem with it, this million-dollar resource could take billions and billions of dollars to get it to the earth. It costs thousands of dollars of rocket fuel to send spacecraft to space and return it back.



Just, for example, asteroid mining would be like capturing an asteroid full of raw materials bring it near-earth and they send spacecraft that could take out the resources from that astroid and bottle it up in a space shuttle and bring it back to earth.

All we need just a push !! from scientists.
