- mark-r 14y agoThe pun appears to be the work of whoever submitted the link, the proper page title is "Asteroid-Mining Project Aims for Deep-Space Colonies".
- cryptoz 14y agoI submitted the link; the title is from the first sentence of the article: "A new asteroid-mining company launches Tuesday with the goal of helping humanity expand across the solar system by tapping the vast riches of space rocks." I used that instead as the first one is ambiguous, and would likely be referring to Planetary Resources without context.
