Description

Mining Near Earth Asteroids.
If mining Near Earth Asteroids for bullion and fuel becomes feasible, this will trigger the development of commercial logistics and infrastructure in Low Earth Orbit. This group explores pathways to commercial viability of LEO-infrastructures as a precondition for a sustained effort in space.
The objective is to put together a case for the mining industry to consider investing in prospecting for asteroids.

The group branched out from the general-discuss list of Marshome and reports its findings back on that list. Anybody can join. If you are not yet a member and want to contribute, click on above button "Join This Group". Also see our "static"website

Re: Moon is a NEA - NEED TO PROCESS LUNAR OXYGEN
Ya gotta have oxy to oxidize , water is convenient, because you can use it to pack the al/mg into the thruster body, and not have to handle turbo pumps, or
