๐ Asteroid Mining: Science Tests the Reality Behind the Hype
A new scientific study examines whether asteroid mining is truly feasible, revealing that while the concept is promising, large-scale extraction is still a long-term goal rather than an immediate reality.
๐ฌ Researchers analyzed carbon-rich (C-type) asteroids, which make up ~75% of known asteroids.
๐ง Findings suggest water extraction is more realistic than mining precious metals in the near future.
๐ฐ๏ธ Advanced sample-return missions and space technology are required before commercial mining can begin.
Asteroid mining may first support space exploration and fuel production, not Earthโs gold or metal supply โ reshaping expectations around space resources.
