Yes. Thank you. ... -- _____________________________________________________ Debi-Lee Wilkinson Geophysical Institute University of Alaska Fairbanks 506-C...
A couple nit-picky points. M-type asteroids are at most 30% rock, ideally much less. The metal is pure metal, that's why it's so easy and effective to harvest...
I will re-iterate what I said near the end long "mission" post. The first problem ahead of us is that we don't know what resources we need or even have yet....
As an example here's one thing that Debi-Lee suggested we could do: Make a catalogue of all NEAs (huh? what exactly constitutes a NEA?): Size, orbital data,...
What you lined out here and whatever corrections Robert makes is a concept for how mining will go. And that will effect the $$$ estimates that we make. But...
So, question: What are all the things we can think of that we can start to look into (and ultimately provide the mining industry as a service) that we can ...
Okay, next step. First of all I think we might agree on a base-line mission profile as a referral for figuring out what needs to be done to achieve it, or ...
Hi Debi-Lee, Thanks for this "WHY". I guess we'll keep it here, but we can refer to it whenever a discussion hits on why we think this effort is useful. It's...
... conference is being held at a meteor crater mining site. I don't know much more than that. I attended the first one. It's in Sudbury, Canada. That's a...
I looked into that mining conference that Joe and Martha are going to. The conference is being held at a meteor crater mining site. I don't know much more...
Ueli, Nice and succinct. You said it well. For whatever purpose, here is the long version. Perhaps this is more the why? Our discussions on the Mars Homestead...
Hi all, Okay, so let's cut the ice here. I've looked through all we have so far, and tried a more succinct mission statement. So I suggest to post the message...
Kaylene, What we do is this: Every time after we got something figured, we write it up and put it in the files-section of our Yahoo group. That way it is ...
Did I miss something? Anyone outside the US wouldn't get paid. (Surely, this must be a mistake who's into slave labor?) I am a US citizen, and if I have the...
Debi-Lee, Ueli and others, Actually, I wouldn't mind being an assistant miner. I would be very happy if I could have some experience in space. Folks say that ...
Yes, actualization, means exactly that we actually bring this all about. I don't have anything better to do, :) Are one or more of us going to save and print...
Debi-Lee, Robert, Okay, I got that: It seems to me we need to differentiate between longterm vision or maybe that is called a "mission" and the short term ...
Okay Robert, So it looks like you have already proceeded a long way into the nuts and bolts of getting a probe to a NEA. Great stuff. I believe that organizing...
I want to do the engineering and manufacture of heavy equipment for asteroid mining. Since I was pre-school age I wanted to engineer space equipment. Not the...
Ueli, I never meant to imply that we would branch out into the mining. I was the one who originally said we need to do the exploration and let the big pockets...
Kaylene, ... mining asteriods. .... ... I agree on studying the feasibility and benefits of asteroid mining. I don't understand "actualizing". Do you mean that...
... data ... potential. ... Yes, I agree on the first part, though I think that is simply the first step. Verifying viability I think will need more than...
Okay, so we are four by now: Robert Dyck, Debi-Lee Wilkinson, Kaylene Peters and myself. That's enough to start. So my suggestion is to first make sure we...
I was confirming my Yahoo account, and decided to look in the messages. Looks like everything is working quite well. Have a nice day! Kaylene Peters ... ...
Let's see where we are on the check list. Looks like we're on number 6. What is the reason for the group...? and Ueli has established that as studying the...
Ueli, et. al. I joined in. Probably no matter where we start we will have to figure it out as we go. The format looks promising and it is probably better...
