Hi all, At long last I get around to put together a "Newsletter" that summarizes what happened on our NEAmines from January to March, see attached. It should...
Last month an aurora tour group came through Fairbanks and I was talking to some of them at the Star Party our astronomy club hosted for them. And one fellow...
An idea came to me reading this but it relates back to more than just this thread. Instead of looking at the first mining base as a mining base, how about a...
Debi-Lee, Go with the researchers? Interesting angle! But on second thought, I'd rather not want to rely on basic research as the driving force for developing...
Except that the mining industry is going to be a hard sell. They will want demonstrated equipment. And until we are actually there doing it we really wont'...
Ah, now isn't that revealing that Fairbanks started as a mining town and then grew into more diversity? That's why I say mining will be the main reason for ...
... They researchers have lots of bucks but lots of different ideas of how to spend it. So as I wrote the message below, diversity in objectives translates...
NEAmines@yahoogroups.com Did this work? Debi had an interesting article, too about the former mining town in Alaska. I wonder what people do there now? I'm...
This amendment establishes a new program element in AppendixC.24 entitled "Near Earth Object (NEO) Observations." This new program element solicits proposals...
Juergen, Did you have in mind, that we as the NEAmines group might put in a proposal for this call on NEO-objects? I don't see that happening, as we don't...
Hi everybody, I'm back on. I did manage to get online during my travels every now and then, but not enough to keep our debates rolling. So we've been rather...
Hi Ueli, if you have an account in the nspires system, you may also read proposal abstracts from other researchers. In fact its also possible to submit a...
Hi all, While we get the milestone on the excavator finalized over in the "NEAminesProcessors" Yahoogroup, we can now also again pick up the debate on...
Jan, "To clarify the concept, Ueli--- A simple bolo structure only. Two masses, one at each end of a tether. Balanced rotation around a single strcuture to...
Jan, Rotating cartwheel stations and all...... Yeah, I do remember seeing "2001-Space Odyseey" as a kid when it first came into the theaters way back when. ...
Hi all, Been thinking again lately on the sequence of income streams for bootstrapping the whole operations. Remember that originally the idea to work on...
Hi all, I have just uploaded a new page on our asteroidmines website on what we have achieved and where we stand with the excavator, with links to the...
Hi all, Now that we've set up that milestone with the excavator/digger on our website, we may want to leave that for a while. What are we going to look at...
The 'Rig For Mining' web page puts together a strong case, Ueli. Looks good when all the imagery is pasted up in a single article, almost a newspaper in...
I have been accepted as a speaker at the Planetary and Terrestrial Mining Symposium in Sudbury Ontario. For those of you who have been here since the...
Hi Debi-Lee, very good to hear that there is active engagement and discussion emerging in the public arena around the NEA mining future prospects. This looks...
... We were hoping to present the meteorite experiments there too but we don't have the results of the first one and I am still trying to get some measurements...
In this post, I would like to draw attention to the strategic reasons for why we need to expand into space for mining purposes. This is mainly to support the...
For some reason, the YAHOO server is down, and has not been able to upload the last file in the series supporting the New Scientist article. As a temporary fix...
From James Wilson spacetrader.net b2b-galaxy.com Looks good to me Ueli, Good start. Would you mind if I link to it from b2b-galaxy.com My concept for this page...

Hi Jan, (Travelling in remote Portugal, so just shortly): Yes we had an earlier idea to slam a NEA with an impactor then have a bunch of sensors scan the...
Organ pipes boosters (Travelling in remote Portugal, so just shortly): Jan, jup, is a concept that has been around. Most large boosters nowadays have strap-on...
(Travelling in remote Portugal, so just shortly): Jan, oh wow. This makes tons of sense. And we'd have to make that really BIG gyroscopes. In my minds eye I...
Sorry Jan, I'm right now travelling and conferencing and have little time to look into this, particularly because going online is difficult here. Could be...
