What if I told you they could send asteroids to the planet to be mined _on the planet_ and crash the price of gold?
- adolph 5y agoIt’ll be interesting to see the feasibility based on next month’s launch of Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). DART is a planetary defense-driven test of technologies for preventing an impact of Earth by a hazardous asteroid. DART will be the first demonstration of the kinetic impactor technique to change the motion of an asteroid in space. https://www.nasa.gov/planetarydefense/dart https://www.nasa.gov/planetarydefense/dart
