Space mining

Human beings are at home on planet Earth but not in space, where we can only go with much protection and at great cost.  SpaceX has been working hard to make it more accessible to us. 

As that happens, there will be business opportunities. Astro Forge is raising funds for that. What they do:

"At AstroForge, our mission is to make space resources accessible on Earth. We mine asteroids to extract valuable minerals in space at a lower cost and smaller carbon footprint than the current terrestrial mining methods [image]."

As of this month, a total of $55 million has been invested in this idea. Here's how their two missions have gone so far, and what they're working on.
