If it was possible to mine all the minerals found in the astroids between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter the total value would be enough to give every human being on Earth about $100 billion (£72 billion). (Image: GETTY) One astronomer, Martin Elvis, believes the SpaceX Falcon Heavy, the world's most powerful rocket, could make this a reality.

If we can effectively land a bullet on a bullet 500 million miles away from Earth, then the idea of grabbing a near-earth asteroid doesn't sound nearly as crazy. The economics might still seem crazy, but the technology - not so much. As it turns out, there are three groups currently working on a long term strategy to gather resources from space.

Caltech's Keck Institute for Space Studies (KISS) recently released a report (PDF) which stated that "given the current pace of technology, we could reel in a 500-tonne asteroid by 2025 at a cost of roughly $2.6 billion." Astronomical work over the last fifteen years has increased the number of known Near Earth Asteroids from about 30 to about 400.

platinum from an asteroid would release 150 kilograms of CO2. On the other hand terrestrial mining would generate 40,000 kilos of CO2. Mining asteroids could be hundreds of times more sustainable. Essentially the main reason is there is almost no other substance you can mine which generates that much greenhouse gases.

Taken together, these data indicate that the total energy used by the mining and metal producing industry might be of the order of 10% of the total. This estimation seems to be consistent with that of Rabago et al (2001) who report a 4%-7% range and those of Goeller and Weisnet (1978) of 8.5% for the metal industry in the United States only.

Right now the cost of mining an ounce of gold from an asteroid is far higher than mining it from Earth. If the cost of mining it from Earth becomes high enough to where asteroid mining is competitive, then asteroid mining will commence.

Eldorado at Uranium City was mining ore that ran 0.25% U. They had a huge concentrating mill that brought it up to a much higher percentage, before packing in drums for barge transport. But at Port Radium on Great Bear lake, they found deposits rich enough that they just loaded the ore into burlap sacks and barged it down the McKenzie.

Recalling how New World gold distorted the Spanish economy, I suspect a flood like that would crash the precious metals markets, wreaking who knows what financial havoc. But one problem at a time. Once enough likely asteroids are found, probes will be sent out to assay them for mineral potential, followed by robot miners to work the claims.

Mining the Asteroids Given the fact that the idea of asteroid mining is in very primitive stage, the initial mining operations would be completely automated in nature.
