Using data from a retired NASA mission, researchers identified unique signs of water molecules on two space rocks, unlocking new insight into how water may have arrived on Earth
George Monbiot, a correspondent for Britain’s The Guardian newspaper and known for his environmental and political activism, has made a surprising call for people in the United Kingdom to cut the use of cars by 90 per cent over the next decade.
It is unlikely we will need to extract water from asteroids for Earth’s use soon, but the idea can be used for resupplying space exploration missions.
According to scientists, the water on Earth came from comets and asteroids, so it only makes sense to mine them when the global supply runs dry.
We might need this in a few decades to come!
If space mining is ever realized, the wealth will likely benefit only a few rich people.
The amount of wealth to be found in asteroid mining could change the future of humanity.
It’s an excellent idea. It might even be the only option to save earth, as our natural resources might be depleted in a few decades.
