Reading through this thread makes me realize there is no shortage of people who want to contribute either financially or through engineering talents.
Prior to now, I didn't even realize it was conceivably feasible to do asteroid mining... but if it is, why doesn't someone start a massive open source track? A classic space race, though it would between a private company, and a non government public effort. I'll contribute money and time :D
- Symmetry 15y agoI wouldn't normally post song lyrics to HN, but this just seemed too appropriate: *And I want it so much. Close my eyes, I can taste the Mars dust in the air. In the darkness the space stations shimmer in orbits that I will not share. But I'll teach the student Who'll manage the fact'ry That tempers the steel that makes colonies strong. And I'll write the program that runs the computer That charts out the stars where our rockets belong. It will never get easy to wake from my dream When the future I dream of is so far away. But I am willing to sacrifice something I don't have For something I won't have but somebody will someday.*
