Description
Description: Dr. Greag Matloff discusses the different resources and matters found in space in which we could find as useful resources here on Earth and the value of these useful matters.

Summary
Summary: There are many different masses and matter that fly around in the space around Earth. Many masses such as asteroids or comets contain molecules that would be quite valuable on Earth. He goes into detail about different ways and machines that we could use in order to collect this matter and bring it down to Earth.

Excerpt
Excerpt: The JPL NEO website also includes some discussion of the potential value of minerals in the asteroids. If we can economically tap the main-belt asteroids, the estimated cumulative mineral content of these objects could enrich every human by about $100 billion! More will be said about such forecasts later.
