Which is odd, because it seems like it would be far easier and more efficient to establish some sort of space station base as a launching off point than one on the moon. Because while gravity is certainly reduced there, you still need to use a signifcant amount of fuel to break orbit there, which wouldn't be an issue if you were launching from space. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

If I were to make a wild guess they are probably planning a base larger than we currently have the technology to make into a satellite. Right now sending things into space is an exponential cost equation, even if the moon has gravity it's not the same sort of thing that requires such massive rockets to escape the pull. ...

I'm fairly convinced the lure of big bucks via space mining will eventually be a big leap in space tech/travel. The sheer amount of valuable metals in some asteroids is too big of a lure imo. Then, if we can process the metal while it's still in space, we'll open up a ton of space construction options/possibilities.

The moon has always been the potential launch point for any further exploration, I mean, always as in from before I was born (50 years ago +). Unless we come up with cold fusion or some infinite source of power here on earth, it just makes sense to create a base (and then expand on them) on the moon and launch from there.
Basically infinite energy source on the moon and far less needed to launch anything, still plenty of metals etc to actually build things as well (without having to get it out of our atmosphere). If I remember correctly and it's been eons, Mars is the next step primarily due to large amounts of ice which can be converted into o2, and again a lower gravity (A bit over 1/3rd earths). Would be the easiest way to resupply the moon and any bases on saturns/jupiters moons etc. The basic plan was always to build a space station initially (allowing the building of mining equipment, and supplies to make a sustainable station on the moon). Then build a station on the moon (expanding to including mining operations etc), then expand to mars. The plan has been still born for most of my life though. --- "did you steal my f***in signature" Helly ... Copied to Clipboard!

Then, if we can process the metal while it's still in space, we'll open up a ton of space construction options/possibilities. yes, metallic asteroids are supposed to be worth in the tens of trillions of dollars. a problem with that, though, is that the price of metal wouldn't stay so high if we had that much of it. mining a gold asteroid would make you a lot of money at first, but it would also crash the price the gold. --- ...

Most of the things that will be targeted for mining first would probably be things that will be used in furthering space technology. Like gold in particular has use in electronic components. ...
