Downvoted for the Reddit link. If you read the Forbes article linked in the Reddit post, you see that it’s kinda cool! The startup behind this has apparently done a test resource extraction mission successfully in 2023. These things are more test missions that would take a really really long time. So the timeline is incredibly long, but it’s cool regardless in my opinion.
Oh great, capitalism has extended its greedy hand beyond our planet. It was better when governments were doing space missions, it was at least mostly for scientific interest and the good of humanity as a whole.
Oh so you’d find it better if those greedy companies would destroy our planet, jungles and oceans full of life instead of a lifeless asteroid somewhere in the galaxy huh? Think about it
