Abstract
Since the dawn of humanity, civilization has advanced through ongoing development and utilization of the Earth’s natural resources. However, the rapidly expanding population is using up the nonrenewable resources at an alarming rate. A possible solution to this terrestrial conundrum can come from the most unlikely of places, outer space, in the form of extraterrestrial mining.
