lets first look what is asteroid mining.... Asteroids could become an inccredible source of buliding supplies for a colony on moon.If you enjoy science fiction,then you know the thought of colonizing moon makes for some incredibly imaginitive stories.There is no home depot on moon, so the bulilding supplies have to come from somewhere. to get the supplies from earth is expensive and daengerous.Asteroids must be a better place to get the supplies from. Early evidence suggests that there are trillions of dollars of minerals and materials buried in Asteroids that come close to earth. so what do u think??? lets start mining....

Mining from asteroids is nice in theory, but well yeh, in practice it'll be quite a challenge to do. Perhaps at the end of the century we'll be on a level to mine asteroids, but till then we're first going to have to succeed to get to mars first I'd say.
