  1. maybe you’re right, could be a real possibility in the future, I’d have to
    see the tech and data on it first to be sure though, interesting none the
    less.

  2. If I got this internship this is what my day would look like, go to work
    and work on mining rocks in space, then go home and mine rocks in EVE
    online. YAY! space mining! lol

  3. not really. They had a more cinematic video, but that’s it. They aren’t
    backed by billionaires, they have no notable scientists behind them and
    they have no craft built yet.

  4. it seems highly unlikely that you would make enough money off mining an
    asteroid to even cover the technology needed to mine it, let alone the
    materials needed to launch this project. Notice how I left out making a
    profit, that is because they wouldn’t. Strange idea.

  5. Apparantly in their other video they mention that one asteroid may contain
    more platanium then has ever been mined in human history. Also the water
    they gather may help further missions into space. Apparantly they put the
    profit at some billions, if it all works out.

  6. The average 100m diameter asteroid would be worth upwards of 100 billion
    and there are thousands of them. The fuel gained from water from teh
    asteroids would be worth thousands per kg and would supply fuel to space
    stations and orbiting satellites. The metals mined can be used to build
    craft IN SPACE, meaning their only launches would be their first launches,
    at a cost of at most 50 million dollars. it’s a very lucrative industry and
    you’d be a fool to ignore it.

  7. Yeah a rugbyf0rlife said, really all DSI has right now is a shiny video,
    but it is still awesome that they are there in the first place. Brand new
    industry and the mover people jump in, the faster it will get off the
    ground, literally.
