To make the planet cleaner, you need to start developing asteroids

The extraction of useful materials on asteroids may seem like something out of the ordinary, but in fact, companies and even some governments are already seriously considering this possibility.

Scientists work with companies that plan to develop asteroids in order to accelerate the onset of this future. Due to the secrecy of the individual data, they can not tell much about it - a commercial secret.

Many people are skeptical about the extraction of resources on asteroids, because they think that the task of all this is to return platinum on the market.

That is why platinum is not the goal of space miners. The first product from asteroids will be something less obvious: water.

Who will buy rocket fuel made from asteroid water? One of the concepts is to sell it to telecommunications companies to launch satellites into orbit. Ten years ago, most satellites were launched with rockets attached to a small upper stage.

An important point that our government leaders must understand is that investing in space mines is a safe bet on our future, one of the safest.
