While
we
worry
over
the
depletion
of
the
earth's
natural
resources,
the
pollution
of
our
planet,
and
the
challenges
presented
by
the
earth's
growing
population,
billions
of
dollars
worth
of
metals,
fuels,
and
life-sustaining
substances
await
us
in
nearby
space.
In
this
visionary
book,
noted
planetary
scientist
John
S.
Lewis
explains
how
we
can
mine
these
precious
metals
from
the
asteroids,
comets,
and
planets
in
our
own
solar
system
for
use
in
space
construction
projects.
And
this
is
just
one
of
the
possibilities.
Join

contemplates
milking

while
demonstrating
the
economic
and
technical
feasibility
of
plans
that
were
once
considered
pure
fiction.
