Recently ideas of mining resources from space have been explored by many countries. The resources are mainly water and oil, as water could be broken down into hydrogen to fuel spaceships, and into oxygen, or to just use as water for it's usual purposes. Oil can be used to power most of our large transportation and factories. Resources like these are slowly but steadily running out, and we are going to need to replenish out supply if we want the world to continue the way it's going.
“Within next five years,” James said, “mining and energy companies will start thinking about space mining before the shareholders start asking, ‘What is your strategy?’ And they answer, ‘Oh, we don’t have one.’ ”
The fact that we even have to think about this is a little scary. It shows how much natural resources we are using up at a rapid rate. Our world is headed toward something, that's for sure, but whether it's utopia or ruin, who knows. I guess that's up to the humans who live on it.
