With Prof Dr Ulrich Walter astronaut & scientist -"In their insatiable quest for resources, humans are now also looking to space. The Moon as a mineral paradise? Metal asteroids promising immense wealth? While a gold rush in space remains purely utopian for now, if humanity intends to move deeper into space, it will rely on local resources. Therefore, all spacefaring nations are actively working on concepts and technologies to enable the extraction and use of space resources." #Welt MOON MINING AND ASTEROID WEALTH: The Next Step in #SpaceExploration | WELT SpaceTime #moon #spacetime #mining #extraction #resources #moon #spacemining #spaceindustry #spaceeconomy #newspaceeconomy #neweconomy #ASTEROID #WEALTH #nextspace #spacetech #concept #technology #spaceresources #spaceactivities #mineral #energypower #weltdocumentary

“Nasa is among those who think lunar mining is years away, not decades. By 2032, it wants to have harvested lunar soil and built a processing plant on the lunar surface – and has set itself the goal of mining resources there within ten years.” We must consider the environmental impact and the sustainability of lunar mining activities. Minimising potential damage to the lunar environment is absolutely crucial.

Investing in Space Mining Asteroid mining is now a rapidly approaching accessible reality. The space industry is experiencing a surge in investments, and Wyoming - the cowboy US state - steeped in mining heritage, also stands at the forefront of this transformative revolution. The WYOMING MINING ASSOCIATION recently hosted a talk by University of Wyoming alumnus, Ben McGee, on the potential of space mining. This comes as no surprise, given that Wyoming's L&H Industrial, Inc. has a history of contributing to NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s space shuttle program, and Wyoming bentonite was used to simulate Mars' surface for the Mars Rover. This news underscores how space exploration has yielded groundbreaking discoveries, created new opportunities, and provided significant rewards. A small asteroid could contain $195 billion worth of material, including $65 billion in recoverable water and $130 billion in nickel, iron, and platinum metals. Moreover, asteroids are actually home to unique minerals like tetrataenite, which could revolutionize magnet technology. The potential rewards are staggering. At Via Space Holdings, we want to continue to push the boundaries of innovation and investment. Join us in this exciting new frontier. #InvestmentReimagined www.viaspaceholdings.com Source: https://lnkd.in/g9WVd_8q

The USA (Commercial Space Act 2015) and Luxembourg have unilaterally declared that private companies 'can go ahead and extract resources'. The Outer Space Treaty states that no country can own a planetary body, but does not provide for the possibility of extracting space resources 'without owning the planetary body'. Demonstrations of lunar mining technology to commence over the next year or so. This coincides with human habitation of the moon commencing in 2024. #moon https://lnkd.in/emb4y8yw

Our CEO Matt Gialich had a great conversation with @cnn discussing the abundant potential of resources in space. AstroForge is revolutionizing the space industry with groundbreaking advancements in asteroid mining.

Mining Asteroids seems such a sensible thing to do, if we want to save the planet, along with nuclear power and solar panels in space. What do the Critical Minerals Association (UK) and Critical Minerals Association USA think about getting critical minerals from space? Have you done a video on it Rachel Phillips, Ph.D.? To able to mine minerals in space, we need to follow Spacex's lead, and make getting to space cheaper. I just wish AstroForge would publish more about how they aim to achieve their goals. Perhaps they think so to, since they are advertising a post for a full-time content creator: https://lnkd.in/eCrADERc #minerals #geoscience #asteroids Jeff Townsend Ben Lepley Jun Cowan Nick Tate Jessica Scanlan Jessica Keast Taija Torvela Rachel Phillips, Ph.D.

The potential of asteroid mining is staggering, and Asterank’s findings offer a glimpse into a future where space resources could transform our economy. A US$1.5 trillion profit from just the top 10 most cost-effective asteroids suggests a massive opportunity waiting in near-Earth space. However, the challenge lies not in the discovery but in building the infrastructure and technology to mine and transport these resources efficiently. The real question is how long it will take for space mining to become commercially viable and what impact it could have on industries ranging from manufacturing to energy. While exciting, we must also consider the regulatory and ethical implications of exploiting space resources. Could asteroid mining be the next gold rush, or will it create a new frontier of economic and geopolitical competition? #NewSpaceEconomy #SpaceCommercialization

You'll need different CTP Propulsion Technologies to make this economically feasible combined with 'space harvesters' for the raw asteroid materials/mineral ore mined + carrying the payloads back to Earth. #CTPISP (https://lnkd.in/ggA9yvsE) will serve this purpose and many other roles into the #NthIndustrialRevolution.
