  1. I’m waiting for that asteroid. That’s a solid 100 billion tons of gold. That would just completely crash Earth’s economy

    >A U.S. asteroid-mining company

    Is this really an accurate term for them? That’s like calling myself Jenna Ortega’s husband based on my plans to one day meet and date and marry her.

  3. That’s really cool! I’d love to see more investments in space mining. It’s definitely something we need to do as a society, but it is a very risky and long term oriented business. Government needs to get involved for support

  4. I’m kinda annoyed with them.

    If you are picking a naming convention like Norse Gods for your spacecraft, why would you take the very top God of the Pantheon for this mission??? It’s going out to nose around and send info.

    How about… **Hermod**, the messenger of the Norse Gods.

    Save **Odin** for the final majestic stroke of the project.

    I wonder how sustainable or environmentally impactful asteroid mining will be—definitely curious to see the long-term effects.

    Hold up – when did we get a space mining company? I’m excited for that possibility I just didn’t expect it so soon.
