The Space Economy: A Modern Day Gold Rush
Asteroid Mining Will Create A Trillion-Dollar Industry
As our population grows, we need to find a sustainable supply of natural resources to fuel exploration in space and prosperity on Earth.
Water-Rich Asteroid:
- One water-rich asteroid could produce enough fuel for every rocket launched in history.
Uses Of Water In Space:
- Rocket Fuel
- Breathable Air
- Drinkable Water
One Single 500M Water-Rich Asteroid:
- would produce over $5 trillion worth of water for use in space.
- It currently costs $20,000 to send a liter of water from Earth to Deep Space.
Platinum-Rich Asteroid:
- Could contain more Platinum Group Metals than what’s been mined on Earth in all history.
- Near-Infinite supply of precious resources.
Uses Of Platinum Group Metals On Earth:
- Reduce cost of electronics.
- Electrify transportation
- Drive innovation and create a greener earth.
One Single 500M Platinum-Rich Asteroid:
- At current market prices, an ounce of platinum is valued over $1,500.
- Worth $2.9 Trillion more than the yearly world output of platinum.
- More than the known world-reserves of PGMs.
Asteroid mining will open a trillion-dollar industry and provide a near-infinite supply of Platinum Group Metals and water to support our growth both on this planet and off.
