Nasa launch mission to investigate whether it is possible to mine asteroids for precious metals - and add TRILLIONS to the economy | Mail Online: "Nasa has announced that it will be launching a mission in 2016 to lay the groundwork for asteroid mining- an activity that could add trillions of pounds to the world economy.
The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will arrive at the asteroid Bennu in 2018 with the aim of collecting cosmic samples to return to Earth. Scientists hope the mission will accelerate technology that will soon enable humans to mine asteroids for precious metals."
