OSIRIS-REx and the Future of Asteroid Mining | in the clear #103

Last week the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft collected samples from an asteroid and will be bringing them back to Earth for further study. This has never happened before and the implications of what the future may bring are incredible. In short this is a proof of concept for asteroid mining and may lead to the construction of larger crafts in space, dramatically reducing the cost of space exploration.  ©2020   Commoner Public Radio Network.
