Maybe the main craft that drops them is a huge solar cell to start. If they ever get pure electrical propulsion down they can slow and stear them maybe. Park them nearer.

A fascinating perspective on the role of asteroids in our existence and the potential they hold for our future. Your analysis of asteroid mining and its challenges is extremely detailed, and the concept of using this potential resource to aid our ambitions of space colonization is mind-boggling.

Ice will likely be the first thing mined. H + O for rocket fuel. Water to drink and O2 to breath.

Many of these resources are only valuable because they are scarce. If we suddenly gained a huge supply of gold we wouldn’t suddenly be rich. Gold would just lose all of its value.

It WILL be a trillion dollar industry. No 2 ways about it. It will be done. Has been done, albeit on a exponentially smaller scale than what is planned

3:24 So... eastern europe, about in 1996 - a nice summer morning, suddenly you wake with a pulse of fear.. "WOW! I was so close to oversleeping..." its 5 AM and this time you're going with grandpa and grandma to the corn fields to "whack the weeds" as you might say, and maintain the field. It's a backbreaking manual labor!(well at least for them it was...) We get to the field early and prep for a light breakfast, granny woke up early to prepare it all. As I'm gorging on my granny's milinki with a side of apricot nectar(both homemade...) I notice other people around us enjoying breakfast as well. Then every group(bout 20 or 30 depending on the day, basically almost the whole village) gradually begins to work their land. We call this land "bostan" and every village had one. Every couple of years they move it in order to keep the soil more rich and not deplete the nutrients with continuous strain through growing the same culture there(they rotated mixed bostans with single culture ones). I was a kid back then, no more than 10 years old, but believe me when i tell you.. best.. damn.. time!!!

Is there any reason to not just go to the asteroid belt, and start nudging them towards earth? Sure its going to be slow, the first one will take decades if not longer to get here, but the second one will be right behind it.

I wonder if you could go on the other side of the direction the asteroid is going and just apply enough force to make it go very slow. Then mining wouldn't be too hard. Just transportation back to earth.

This reminds me of the book, "The Singularity Trap". It's a decent read that focuses on a guy who picks up astroid mining.

Hollywood warned us about this on Don't Look Up

I've got to ask: who does the animation for these because the comic edge is brilliant. Bottles of water on asteroids delivers an A+ from this viewer. 😅👍👍

Great video, young man. This is a subject that needs a lot of consideration. We either have to get serious about recycling the world over, or we are going to choose between becoming technically impoverished or leaving it to a very few rich or more innovative countries/multi-billionaires to go scraping at a few asteroids (which brings up the matter of expense and possibly ownership rights). It's my belief that we will start by mining asteroids to bring only the most valuable resources back to Earth. But once the 'wasteful' era of that particular enterprise is over and done with (since humans 'unfailingly' manage to mine for one substance, throwing aside another half dozen substances that become useful in later years. Think early days of oil extraction - and the careless way 'gas' was burned off, because it was considered a waste product at the time), only then will asteroids be mined more sensibly, to take advantage of all possible resources. At that time, I think the probability of occupying other planets like Mars will escalate, as it will be more sensible to bring resources 'there' for refinement, rather than doing that job on Earth and further polluting the atmosphete, etc.

I love this channel

11:05 yeah.. hyperkinesys is enough, nah you dont pull the asteroid towards the planet, you push the vassle towards the asteroid. using the power of the *MIND*

Well, I know someone who have been into asteroid mining. It was not easy, but he (with the team) they did land (remote controlled robotics) and mine a bit.
