The new space race isn’t just about joy flights for the super rich. Private organisations and governments are focused on mining the moon’s rich resources. But is mining the moon a good idea?
Incredibly interesting read, but as always, scary as hell. It seems we are doomed if we do and doomed if we don’t. I realise there is no stopping this insatiable need for money and power (all in the name of the greater good.......Yeah right) but it will come at a cost far greater than than we can imagine.
Thanks! I think the fact that space is open for private profiteering is most concerning to me. Mining for critical resources is one thing. Private companies making billions from it is quite another.
