Space Mining — Learning How To Fuel An Interplanetary Gas Station
Real space travel will necessitate interplanetary gas stations on the moon, or on asteroids. A Colorado university has launched the first degree program in "space mining."
Starting this semester, the Colorado School of Mines is offering the world's first degree programs in Space Resources â essentially mining in outer space.
It's not just academic institutions like the School of Mines taking note; a small but growing number of startups expect this to be very big business sooner than a lot of us might think.
