Michael and all, Careful here. You've picked up and worked on a whole boatload of various topics in one single posting. And you posted it on NEAmines. I only...

Hi Guys, A colleague of mine went to a talk by Jim Benson recently. Here's what he told me about it: "I went to a public talk by Jim Benson at NASA/ARC...
Yes clear, liquid, or white gold can be very valuable. A fuel depot would help very much it will be a place to buy fuels when leaving, and a place to deliver...
... Actually Chang-Diaz and the VASMIR project is no longer associated with NASA. The project has been purchased lock, stock and barrel by “unnamed ...
Hi all, In the PROCESSORS group we're still sorting out the various things that need to happen at the NEAs themselves. One topic emerged that I think can be ...
Robert, Over in PROCESSORS you neatly pointed out that we had rather think in terms of a continuum in the composition and structures of asteroids, and not in...
The PGM in the metal can be similar whether in metal asteroids or wet carbonation contrite, but the latter will need to be reduced because it is largely oxides...
... carbonation contrite, but the latter will need to be reduced because it is largely oxides (rust), has many other compounds especially silicon based rock...
You have to be careful about the term "continuum". It doesn't mean everything is mixed together in every object, rather the metallic form a continuum to the...
... concentration where ... The Type IIAs, which have the highest total platinum group metal content by mass, have less nickel than average (Buchwald, 1975)....
I think most construction on Mars should use brick, but I believe in liberal use of iron there. The used carbon monoxide is just part of the equipments. It...
... small Stanford Torus spinning to create spin gravity. It would be something like a green agricultural version of the station in the 2001 Space Odyssey...
Somebody really needs to explain to me why it is cheaper to send humans to NEAs to operate the processors there, than to figure out the teleoperations. Mind...
... humans to NEAs to operate the processors there, than to figure out the teleoperations. Mind you: Humans in space, particularly outside the magnetic sphere...
Ueli and Everyone, I don't think the issue is about money or expense actually but about exhaustable resources. As the population of the Earth increases more...
Too bad small explorers are banned from shuttle flights. NASA made that announcement after the Columbia accident. I had looked at developing a micromission...
Okay Michael, So we got an interesting trade-off to explore here, ie: A: The costs of developing the robotics for the machinery operating at the NEAs and their...
... Hayabusa landed and stayed on the surface for a half-hour. It then took off again, but they don't think they got a sample. They can't be sure unless the...
... exhaustable resources. Uh, hi Klinton. Rah rah, sis boom bah. Now let's get serious. Money drives the economy. Government space agencies aren't going...
... This is the fundamental question. Which option (crew or no crew) leads to a greater expected return for a given investment? This is something that we...
Michael, Yes, this is an interesting tradeoff to explore: Humans at NEAs or only robots at NEAs. I seem to have the opposite view to yours with regard to the ...
Hi all, For those who are not on the ROBOTICS group or on the PROCESSORS group, both now have a defined next milestone, ie. ROBOTICS: 1. Flow-chart diagram of...
... a reason for putting ... Again, I do not believe ANTELOPEs are technologically possible at the present time. One further example to illustrate this: the...
Michael, I think this question should be deferred until we have a requirement that can't be done without a human. I can't believe the amount of email that has...
Do you guys / gals have profiles that I can look at to get to know you? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?...
... that can't be done without a human. The way I see it Orbital mechanics, Chemical Analysis of NEAs, Processing, nor Robotics requires to assume we have...
