Its about damn time, I've been saying it for years, we need to mine the asteroids.

I applaud their efforts. I'm highly skeptical that any of this will come to fruition in my lifetime (I'm 56), but I don't think a long time horizon should stop them. I've been keeping up with what they are doing at the Space Studies Institute for many years. Seems to be in a similar vein. Overcoming the cost to benefit ratio would seem to be the major hurdle.

Yeah, this is going to be operating at a pretty massive loss at first, but hey, you have to start somewhere.

time to get our pilots licenses boys, and get ready to deal with the rogue bots.

LOL... that company is NOTHING alike as the PTMC.

For one. PTMC has Old Scratch OS 411.
Decapitation... lol.

Guess what? Planetary Resources will now hire you to build Old Scratch.
