Hello, everybody, and Ueli, I was wondering about the lull in discussions. I guess it's not just me that's currently a bit overextended. I'm printing out the...
What if we picked an asteroid and created a Televised NEA Mining Space Race. Teams could enter under their brackets. The winner gets the mineral rights to...
... Space Race. Teams could enter under their brackets. The winner gets the mineral rights to that Asteroid. This could inspire many interesting spinoffs...

Klinton, I think that offering some opportunities to groups may be a good idea; nevertheless, as Ueli, noted we're looking to redefine what the venture is as...
Hi Klinton, Mining Space Race? Hm.... interesting idea. As a PR-gig that might be quite something. Tell you what: The guys building all these rockets welcomed...
Ueli and Klinton, That sounds really good. I read about how large companies like Boeing compete nowadays for contracts to build things like the ISS. I'm...
Sorry, I have been not able to cover this earlier. I have some suggestions for a change w/the plan or mission profile. Once the volatiles are removed from most...
We could have a contest to design automated mining equipment that could be sent to an asteroid, but operate on Earth. We could not award mining rights to...

Jim, Does this mean a suggestion to let the explorers and colonists use the minerals, instead of trying to invent the conastada wagon to bring the minerals...
Jim, That sounds better than just a prize to me. Some parts of the academic world tend to float away from actually getting things done. (i.e. Since Ph.D's ...
Trade vsecrets are only profitable when the products go public and people buy the products. This is where patents come in. Legal patents give a company,...
Has anyone here ever torn apart and studied any Televisions, Computers, and or Computer Gaming Consoles? Other Digital Equipment? KC ... From: james brown...
Kaylene, If an Engineer is layed off he/she can always find a job at Wal~Mart. They can't seem to get enough employees to work there and always have many jobs...
I say bring some back to Earth, but mostly supply outer space, in Earth orbit and elsewhere. I am saying that a bigger more powerful mining setup can be...
Trade secrets are only possible to keep when they are kept from the competitors. That should work well if it is operating millions of mile away from those that...
Ahm, Jim and Kaylene.... I agree that once there is a viable mining operation going on NEAs, then there will be a big market for clients based in space....
Hello, everybody Ueli and Jim, I guess this means we don't need a Conastoda Wagon to get the minerals back to Earth. What sorts of experiments or similar...
KC, That's a nice notion to just go to Walmart. I wish I did not have more information like that, and I here the job market in Huntsville is much better for...
Warm Fluffy, I have read all of your letter and I am very glad that you posted it. Yes, there is a large hole in the economic system in America and the world....
Ho, Kaylene and Klinton, I feel you really are touching on stuff that is fascinating on the one hand, but worrisome for continuing our debate on NEAmines on...
KC for president then, If we keep developing our space exploration/colonization programs it will involve taking a role in all related commerce as survival...
Not a Conestoga wagon or other proofs. What needs proof of what? Not the return system. We know what kind of asteroids reach the ground and how much is burned...
That's right Jim, ... push around the stuff (that's the "orbitaldance" subgroup) ... (that's the "processors" and "robotics" subgroups) ... "Datachem"...
Kaylene, I just took that as that you were trying to provide a very informative background for your point of view. Length is not always a bad thing. KC ... ...
Ueli, and Others, including Kaylene, I know this short but detailed discussion was a very big loop outside of NEA Mines. However, it does seem to be a very...
Jim, I agree. I think the scout mission can be a disposable craft. It really does not need to get back to earth. Since it will not be carrying people back...
