#AsteroidMining βοΈβοΈ has the potential to disrupt global #economic structures by introducing new sources of #minerals and #metals. While the cost of asteroid mining is currently high, long-term economic returns π€ could outweigh these if the abundance of resources in asteroids is harnessed effectively and if #SpaceIndustrialization follows, reducing transportation costs. https://spacevoyageventures.com/the-economics-of-asteroid-mining-potential-and-pitfalls/
