Who Wants To Be A Trillionaire?

There are millions of asteroids in our solar system. Because some are full of materials that are rare on Earth, they have been valued at stupendous amounts. But the most valuable resource in space may be something that's abundant back on the ground.

@@ZackWolfMusic I've seen Saturn and it's rings with my own eyes just using some binoculars, you can see the ISS if you know where to look. There's math and scientific research and equations that if you study hard enough you can do yourself on paper that show how space and physics work. There are private agencies pioneering into space that will provide comercial space travel and if you're young enough you'll probably be able to see happen or maybe even travel to space yourself. There are literal videos of balloons sent out to space showing the travel frkm ground to space with no cuts including one video where a daredevil skydived from space onto earth this was a marketing stunt by Redbull. You don't have to trust government agencies to prove space is real and the earth is a globe. Lots of comercial and private companies are doing that for you. If you had enough money you could see yourself. In a survey by Yougov 11% of the population believes the earth is flat or is skeptical on a round earth. There are a total of 2,604 billionaires in the world. With those stats around 286 billionaires should theoretically either not belive in a globe or are skeptical. Yet noone has come forward trying to disprove a round earth or space which could change all of history and science. Because they know it'll be a waste of money theyll just find a ball in space and that's what the billionaires that did go to space find just a GLOBE in SPACE.

[@ZackWolfMusic]

@@ihswap AL.L that stuff you so called see you can only see it through a filter lens. There is a difference of showing how space and PHYSICS work and proving it. Proving space is not possible not at all the cloest thing we have to space is low earth orbit. No space agency/ company is going to take a group of people to space, but if you wanna experience space there is space companies that let you experience space Virtual reality, not in reality, and if you had big money to go to space like 100k or 50k to buy a ticket to space you will only be in low earth orbit If not virtual reality. The red bull stunt was filmed in low earth orbit with a fish eye lens to show the fake pretend curvature of earth, fish eye lens, windows are one of the easiest ways people believe they live on a sphere round earth, if you buy a non fish eye lens attach to a ballon you will not see no curvature of earth, if we really on a olblate speriod earth that has curvature then we should be able to easily with a non fish eye lens thr curvature of earth, a fish eye lens is a concave lens that curves everything it records and this one of many reasons what make people believe earth is a sphere when in fact it is a flat earth. Don't trust the government agencies about space being real it is not space is science fiction that plays with your subconscious mind to make you believe it is true, space is a dream that why every space image is animated and CGI, painted art. Those so called billionaires you are talking about they don't give a care and also some of them don't wanna mention earth is flat because they will be ridiculed and made fun of and lose credibility. Earth is actually flat and yes it would change everything as we know it, you see the ball theory and it's heliocentric model is phesdo science just like astro PHYSICS also evolution big bang, dinosaurs earth being billions of years old is a hoax If the earth is billions of years old how are we in the year 2019? This is simple sh!t you should be asking yourself but yet you stay in denial of the truth earh being a flat plane. The BILLIONAIRES of this earth don't wanna spend money to show the masses the earth is flat it will show everything that has been hidden for thousands of years and will show how fake Nasa, space x and others are. Planets are not spheres they are lights in the firmament just like the sun and the moon and there is only seven planetary lights not that fake painting/ CGi video animation planets you get from Nasa that is made using Computer software.

Exactly space is the next level in human evolution no doubt about it. Mining on the Moon and Mars will be productive only on-world while asteroids will be open to Earth.

[@VeganSpaceScientist]

Some of the environmental benefits of mining in space instead of Earth include: It is easier to get from the Moon or some asteroids to low Earth orbit than it is to get from Earth to low Earth orbit. If we mine ice on either the Moon or asteroids, apply electrolysis to separate out the hydrogen and oxygen, we can use that as a propellant for satellites or space missions. This will mean fewer refuel launches from Earth, and having to relaunch fewer satellites (today they last ~20 years then run out of fuel so we relaunch them). Metals are becoming increasing harder to extract on Earth, with many of the concentrated, near surface deposits already being extracted. This leaves a number of deeper and less concentrated deposits with a greater impact to extract. As we are reliant on metals, extracting these from an asteroid and returning them to Earth may have less of an environmental impact. Helium 3 can be found on the Moon in abundance. While nuclear fusion technology seems to be some way off, if it were commercialised, a supply of helium 3 from the Moon could supply fusion reactors for clean energy. And an extra one not quite related to mining - but some people have proposed putting solar panels on the Moon and beaming the power back to the Earth’s surface to be collected and used.

[@shankarnabben8347]

It's quite ironic that we still have trouble managing to land on the surface of the moon more than 50 years later from the first moon landing.

[@zubinkynto]

We don't, really, it's just about organizing the mission and decreasing expenditure. You know how expensive and dangerous the Apollo missions were? Both the U.S. and Soviet Russia were willing to spare no expense in order to one up each other. Today's projected missions occurring in the next few years are being done in just the multi-millions rather than the multi-billions, and are nearly completely AI driven rather than human driven like the Apollo program.

[@ism_nft]

I think of a sinerio where the future of space minning could be open source. Big companies build minning bots and tools in space, available to the public to rent and individual scavenging...

[@jamesstepp1925]

A few points. The main point of going to the moon first is how close it is. We can use tele robotics with no lag time instead of putting people there to work, drastically lowering costs and risks. It is also loaded with the same materials we build with on earth. One thing to realize about space is that it is the full Monte. Energy like nuclear, Vonn Neumann probes using AI to build infrastructure before we get there, resources, propulsion, room to grow and expand. All these thing tie together perfectly, even more so than terrestrial uses would individually. SpaceX launch costs being so low is a game changer. The most expensive and hardest part of space has always been getting there. Once there everything else is far less difficult and expensive. Business plans that made no sense 20 years ago are being dusted off. Once NASA clears SpaceX to market to our allies the same way we sell them stealth fighters, every allied (trusted) country will have an affordable America level space program to exploit. We do not need to bring space resources back to earth, that would not make much sense. However, bringing back finished goods produced in space from space resources and dropped anywhere on the globe into the gravity well is another thing entirely. Eventually it will be cheaper and safer to produce finished items and energy in space. There is no EPA above low earth orbit, and nobody with any sense cares if the moon is open pit mined. We have already accessed and mined the easily available resources on earth, and there will be a tipping point where hard to access resources on earth are more expensive than easy to access space resources.

Siriusly though, a tennis court's space is two dimensional. It is standardized, but the volume above and/or below it is not. So, as a unit of surface area fine... volume, not so much. And I would know. Tennis is my racquet, after all. ;) Truly, "cubic tennis court" seems a bit "lob-sided" to me. ;)

Finally! Space mining, I bought this up a few months ago, how exciting!

Soon we'll have real "Belters", and then we can live the Expanse

No we won't

[@georgethompson913]

I think the use centrefugal gravity in space habitats would prevent that.

I have been thinking of this concept for five years now and there it is, finally popped up as an idea. Keep in mind that we Humans are like any other animal, but we also came to require many things more than food. Nothing will drive a space race more than a race to exploit precious metals and other materials. Especially as our loneliness is growing bigger and our little planet becomes more and more of a precious jewel, all mining process on Earth will be eventually banned, very strictly.

[@freezer.network9307]

Very common idea.

[@maxprovencher611]

One of the greatest series of all time!

[@muthulingamramiah5546]

Love the Stranger Things like background music... I would use the minerals mined from the Asteroids and build a Dyson Sphere like Space Station around the Earth...

[@godhasleftthebuilding3224]

in- situ utilisation, what a new concept! and what is it that we have done on earth since the dawn of man?

[@hsvr]

These minerals are expensive because of the rarity of them, once mining gets going the prices will come down significantly

[@SA2004YG]

Or they will artificially inflate it like diamonds. Or maybe we'll start building much more due to cheap prices

[@drmosfet]

If the price goes down on some type of metals, the use of that metal will go up, there lots of industrial application for silver and gold, but we might suffer from silver and gold burn out, because some people will go crazy with the stuff!

[@metallica27796]

Matt Bershinsky if it was not for money, trading would be extremely inefficient. Mining asteroids would not really generate production value but will only create extreme inflation. Pretty much like what happened with the Spanish conquistadors. It would be pretty much like travelling to space in order to print money from a central bank printer. Completely unproductive with catastrophic consequences. Money should be unreproducible.

[@mrhawkyoudown6333]

it super cool to think about mining in space but while we waiting for the technology why not starting collecting theses ressources at one place closer to us for when we would be ready to mine

Quick question, if a object in space is big enough can that object have gravity or does it still need to check other requirements

[@leonardonguyen4338]

any body of mass contain gravity literally, meaning you also have your own field of gravity, you just don't notice it because it is miniscule comparing to gravity of earth.

This is what we all should be focusing on. Once we can recourses from space there will be no need for wars anymore. If our recourses run out before that though we will fade away

In future there should be hybrid drones or spacecrafts what use energy from sun or and when there is not near sun type charger then use fuel tank
