Planetary Resources: the new asteroid mining project backed by James Cameron and Google executives
Planetary Resources, a
company founded by several space entrepreneurs and backed by such
high-profile names as James Cameron, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt, plans
to begin prospecting for natural resources like water or precious
metals in near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) by 2022. Co-founder Peter
Diamandis claims that "everything we hold of value on Earth — metals,
minerals, energy, real estate, water — is in near-infinite quantities in
space."
