>is it feasible to mine resources that are more easily accessible on Earth
yes, why not
Joseph Lopez
Nothing could be easier than mining shit on Earth
Asteroid mining is a meme, that won't happen
Carter Diaz
Yes, but only for use in space
Jackson Foster
Why? There is an abundance of materials and we are already seeing companies sending out satellites to scan for possible targets.
Kevin Williams
What will we be doing in space? If you answered nothing then you'd be right
People will be going where there are other concentrations of people, where there are jobs, where there is gravity/large bodies
All the resources needed for on the moon will be mined on the moon
Same as mars, same as jupiter, etc
Kevin Rivera
Theres an abundance HERE too
There is no shortage of any resources on Earth
Thomas Perez
So would these materials just be used for tools and equipment for exploring our solar system? Is there no hopes of bringing them for use on Earth?
Oliver Sanders
I think its a bit of an exaggeration to say we'll be doing "nothing" in space.
