The struggle for space resources.
When Jules Verne in the second half of the 19th century talked about the flight of a brave group of researchers to the moon, his contemporaries perceived this as an indefatigable fantasy or a very distant perspective. But the flight to the natural satellite of the Earth, described in 1865 in the novel from the Earth to the Moon ", became a reality a little more than 100 years - in 1969? M, when the first participants in the Apollo project stepped on the lunar surface.
With the pace of development of science, technology and technology, what was the case for this period,?- the term is very short. Since then, the speed of new discoveries and technologies has increased significantly. Therefore, research in the field of space resources, which scientific institutions and design bureaus have seriously engaged in many countries, should not be perceived as something aimed at a very distant future. The race for space resources - it can be called that - caused by pressing earthly needs and real opportunities to satisfy them in the near future. In any case, if significant financial resources are invested in cosmic resources, and not only state governments and corporations are aware of the need for such costs, if one after another, private companies engaged in space technologies arise - this area of activity promises good prospects.
Of course, so far we are not talking about the construction of mines and mines on other planets, and even more so, in other stellar systems. But in the near space there are many wealth that the earth"s industry extremely needs. Since some resources are on the verge of an early exhaustion, while others have always lacked.
Where are these resources lies? First of all, on the moon. And also on asteroids, comets, which constantly fly past the earth, sometimes creating a danger of a collision with it. What are they, these resources, what are their volumes, how to extract them, can they be processed before delivering to Earth? Scientists - astronomers and planetologists, specialists in the study of the moon and small heavenly bodies, physics, geologists, and mineralogues work on the clarification of this. Yes, for now, it is incredibly expensive to obtain these resources, but the efforts of designers, engineers, technologists are aimed at that so that such production becomes profitable.
about what these resources are, what is the prospect of their production in space and successful use on Earth will tell the materials of the main topic
