Abstract:<\/p>\n

Tsiolkovsii and Goddard dreamed of the day when we would have access to the resources
\nof the asteroids.\u00a0 Today, with an enormous and rapidly growing body of data on meteorites,
\nthe Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) and their more distant counterparts, we can envision the
\npropulsion systems, transportation system architectures, ores, processing schemes and
\nmarkets for products made from materials sourced in nearby space.\u00a0 Most of these products
\nare of greatest value and significance in space; some, such as platinum-group metals and
\nenergy, would be worth returning to Earth.<\/p>\n

The resources of the NEAs also provide the propellants and structural materials for a broad
\nexpansion of human presence in space.<\/p>\n

Dr. John Lewis is the author of the 1997 book “Mining the Sky” and is an Emeritis Professor
\nof Planetary Science at University of Arizona. This talk will survey the what, where, how and
\nwhy of space resource utilization– and raise the timely question of when.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
