Asteriod Mining

When researching future possible advancements for my novel, which can be seen above or on amazon with over 300 reviews to them all, I found lots of interesting developments that could come to light.

Asteroid mining is one, as the human race depletes all resources we will one day have to look elsewhere, that is where asteroid mining could come in. We could gather such things iron, nickel or even titanium for construction.

Also asteroids could become a stopping point on long space journeys, allowing the crew to stop and replenish supplies.

  4. Perhaps the asteroids will actually do something instead of crashing into New York City in movies! NYC seems to be a popular place in meteor strike movies.

  5. That is definitely interesting to think about! Space holds so many mysteries, it's exciting to think of all the possibilities out there!

  8. Imagine if there was gold (I know it's unrealistic), there would be an intergalactic gold rush.

  9. We have already pretty much depleted our magnesium... so this might not be far off.
