    When space objects collide, and while conservation of momentum stays intact, much of that can transfer to one of those colliding objects--sometimes leading to solar system escape velocity for it.
    Was the asteroid belt denser in the past, having thinned out this way? Does Bode's law actually apply? Was there a 5th planet between Mars and Jupiter? Might Vesta tun out to be part of its core? How many minerals and heavy ores are in Vesta? In longer time frame, how much of those could be extractable?

    Asteroid retrieval is probably a far cheaper and more robust path towards space settlement than landing on the moon or mars. Set up a lunar gateway (pretty much ISS 2.0) in high lunar orbit and send out these robotic tugs to bring back asteroid samples to practice ISRU, eg extracting water for fuel and life support.
    Sure, you could use this for going to the moon as well or just teleoperating robotic rovers with less lag than from earth.

  • @felsure

    Why bring the asteroids back to Earth? That would be dangerous. It would be much more efficient to take the extra time to refine/store/transport the asteroids in space. Much less force would be required to manipulate the asteroids in space than on Earth.

    So I know this is somewhat off topic but I've wondered why they don't send a railgun up to the moon and use the moon as a launch base for sending probes and stuff to destinations in our solar system. They wouldn't need fuel for trajectory bc the probe would be launched from the railgun.

  • @RidiculousRocketry

    Mining asteroids is a plausible concept that has been around for decades. With the advances in technology and projected value of harvested asteroids, I think NASA can just step aside and let the free market go for it. This will be a huge business and key driver for a massive growth in space exploration. The commercial space industry is attracting the best talent now anyway and is proving they can do things much faster, better and cheaper.

    • @anydaynow01
      @anydaynow01 11 місяців тому +2

      The biggest issue will be refining the ore in micro gravity, either that or if Elon figures out how to land (or is even given permission to land) Starship with a full payload. I think he is going to have to move Space X to Kenya or Equador just to be free of the FAA to get things done!

    Earth's moon constantly kneads the planet. All this pushing and pulling creates heat. Mars lacks such a moon. Could a "new" moon about 1/4 the size of Mars possibly get it's core moving again. Just a thought?

    First, why would we put human life in such danger??? Use the Robotics that we should have could have used years ago…
    I stopped paying attention midway through until I heard. “Thank You for…” ‘What, I missed it?’ not much?
    What I hoped I missed was them telling us of the advances in Lasers.?? The toaster-sized satellites would use the Solar Electric Powered Lasers to push the Near Earth Asteroids. The Lasers would not blow up the asteroids but change their orbits, so they would bring themselves closer to Earth. The Honeycomb would go around them and squeeze the good stuff out.??
    I don’t know, I think the Honeycomb is for transporting the asteroid, but I think it is a waste of time and power. We should be able to push more asteroids to a cislunar orbit where they can smash into the Lunar Gateway. Then again we should have Starships ready and waiting to catch the not-so-massive asteroids. The mile-wide asteroids can softly smash into the Moon whereas the Moon mining robotics can mine the asteroid if the asteroid doesn’t smash them to pieces.

    Cutting edge science on the citizen's dime was always NASA's purpose, the hard rock work of colonizing the solar system was always going to be up to the "free market". There will be large political problems arising from that colonization, like the Human Rights of the Colonists and who actually owns those asteroids. There will also be the problem of processing those asteroids and what is to be done with the finished products. Probably, most of the material made in space will remain in space to further the process of colonization. A spaceship made on Earth must be made of exotic materials while one made in space could be made of cast iron, with shields made of the slag from the foundry! Water found in space would also have many uses such as radiation shielding and trade goods, the return of the Ice Man! How those things are made will be another good question. Several people have pointed out that smelting ore and making liquid metals in a weightless environment would cause any number of problems, not to mention just separating materials which is usually done with the aid of gravity, here on Earth. I suggest foundries on Luna or, later on, Phobos or Neimos or some largish body with a small amount of gravity. Building a blast furnace in space offers another challenge. Lots of interesting stuff that must be paid for and Humans will have to do the work, as Robots of that caliber are centuries away.

    We’d better hurry up, at the rate rockets are being launched earth won’t have any atmosphere left. Elons big plan is to help destroy our planet so that the impossibility of life in space can happen.
