I think its a really fascinating area. will it be economic to bring back a large fragment of an asteroid that is very metal rich, say? will it make more economic sense to recycle and reuse or have a new mine on earth? it could take decades before anyone successfully pulls off asteroid mining — which, considering there are only a few protections in place for the preservation of space, means that hungry pioneers might end up further exploiting our natural world for profit. of course, not all spa...

Looking at doing is going to an asteroid, landing on it, taking samples and then bringing them back. yes, were going asteroid mining! and these are the concept designs for machines that could one day be part of a new gold rush — well, actually, platinum rush — that could potentially be worth quintillions of pounds. and this is the first part of that robot, the claw that stops it from floating away from the asteroid by gripping onto the surface — hard. the grippers they use are essentially ...

The asteroid belt is this ring of bits and bobs that orbits the sun further out than mars, but thats not where all the asteroids are. if we fly back towards the sun, past mars, you will find some asteroids a lot closer to earth. and one of those is called ryugu, and thats the one that all the fuss was about. back in 2018, we visited the japanese space agency, jaxa, to meet the team behind hayabusa2. this audacious mission successfully flew to ryugu, blew a hole in it, and brought samples back to...

Mission successfully flew to ryugu, blew a hole in it, and brought samples back to earth. so we thought before the landing that it was one sort of asteroid, but now we have actually started analysing it, we realise its actually experienced an awful lot of alteration with water. and as we know, water could mean life. but what does professor bridges think about commercial asteroid mining? i think its a really fascinating area. will it be economic to bring back a large fragment of an asteroid, that...

As we venture into space, how are we going to live? where are we going to live? and what are we going to live on? so, as humans, we have been exploiting the resources on earth for as long as we have been around, but instead of looking down now at what is underneath our feet, we are starting to look up and see what else is out there. ultimately, what we are looking at doing is going to an asteroid, landing on it, taking samples and then, kind of bringing them back. yes, were going asteroid mining...

Current trends suggest that powerful nations are defining the rules of resource use in space and satellite access in ways that will make it hard for developing nations to ever catch up.

Are you free to mine asteroids? What laws govern the explosion of the space industry and space exploration by governments.

There may be many more asteroids in the same orbit as Earth, some of which we might be able to mine.
