Share your opinions.

I think it's awesome, and quite possible. We shall see how this pans out.

Edit: I honestly have no idea what you want me to do! Explain yourselves! I read the rules, I broke none of them.

I gave you a link to the video, I expressed my opinion, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME? Talk about nonconstructive criticism.

Internalise them.

I have no idea what you want me to do?

Make a proper thread, read the rules. This is nowhere near a thread suitable for SD.

Please make your opening post longer for it to be able to stay in serious discussion. Seriously, I like this topic idea so please do.

Seems interesting, the only downfall is that they rely on other companies to be successful in their objectives so that DSI can work. I'm watching the DSI press conference that happened in January 22nd. I watched the video you posted and it seems like an amazing idea for resources that doesn't tax our planet.

DSI was formally announced on January 22, 2013 and currently has three spacecraft and patent-pending microgravity manufacturing technologies under development.

They work fast. Fireflies are meant to be launching in 2015 and they will be looking for asteroids that can be mined and one year later Dragonflies will be able to take samples from those asteroids.

Once we have the data that tells us which asteroids are valuable and how they're structured, we send out harvester missions to bring back a few hundred tons at a time and by 2020 or so, we can get in to commercial operation and start producing products for customers.

David gump is the chief executive officer of DSI.

Also Planetary Resources seems to be doing the exact same thing. Apart from making space stations or fuel stations in space or giving fuel to satellites from asteroids.

Locked until OP fixes their post.



If you'd like you could create a thread and I will merge this one into it.
