This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on how space mining and asteroid mining will destroy the gold and silver bullion market and also elucidates how space mining and asteroid mining will forever change the precious metals market. Additionally, the implications of the space mining and asteroid mining boom on the economy, how to invest in gold and silver bullion coins, the utmost best way to invest in gold and silver bullion, and the myriad of advantages and disadvantages of investing in gold and silver bullion coins are revealed in this essay. The criteria for how to ascertain if a cryptocurrency warrants the investment and the numerous disadvantages and scant advantages of investing in cryptocurrencies are also explicated in this essay. Moreover, the multitude of risks of investing in cryptocurrencies and the types of companies with infinitesimally low profit margins that you should desist from investing in are identified in this essay. Furthermore, how low profit margins can undermine a business, the formula for generating wealth that can be leveraged to prudently forecast the future profitability outlook of a corporation, and how to apply the formula for generating wealth in order to ascertain if buying shares of equity in a company is a prudent investment is delineated in this essay. Lastly, unconventional investment strategies for how to afford to retire prematurely without ever having to be an employee of an organization are identified and how to earn substantial money online to be able to afford to invest in numerous financial markets in the digital era is meticulously expounded upon in this essay. The advent of space mining and asteroid mining will be the catalyst that destroys the gold and silver bullion market for the average gold and silver bullion investor. While the ubiquity of space mining may seem farfetched in the digital era, the age of automation, it is something that is viably possible with the induction of autonomous mining robots entering the workforce and profound advancements in aerospace engineering technologies which will render space travel are the more affordable, efficient, and viable. The contributions that SpaceX, the Aerospace company, has usher into the robust field of space exploration will perhaps render Elon Musk the utmost important person of the Twenty First Century who will be lauded over for centuries to come as a pioneer in the age of automation since he has rendered space exploration all the more cost effective and efficient with innovations made to reusable launch systems, interplanetary transport systems, rocket engines, spacecrafts, satellites, and launch vehicles. The prevalence of space mining and asteroid mining will be preordained to destroy the gold and silver bullion market as precious metals no longer become scarce precious metals, but rather abundant resources just like grains of sand on a beach. The lucrativeness of the gold and silver bullion market for the average gold and silver bullion investor will be undermined by a surge in the supply of precious metals once space mining and asteroid mining missions become commonplace in the age of automation. "Fledgling space mining companies have set their sights on trillions of pounds worth of iron and precious metals locked up in asteroids, along with valuable minerals and trillions of tonnes of water on the moon. For instance, the Asteroid Mining Corporation hopes to send a satellite into orbit in the coming years to prospect for nearby asteroids" (Sample). The surges in supplies to natural resources from space mining that were once on the brink of depletion will fundamentally change the dynamics of these markets as natural resources become more affordable and abundantly available. The advent of space mining can also help pave the way for space colonization. "Precious metals such as platinum and gold could be ferried back to Earth, but much of the mined material would be used in space to build habitats on the moon and make rocket fuel" (Sample)

Book excerpt: Our solar system is an extraordinary phenomenon. Within its boundaries, mankind successfully identified planets, stars, meteoroids, comets, asteroids, and the interplanetary medium. While mankind's study of the atmosphere seems articulated and advanced, we have barely exposed the mysteries our solar system encompasses. There is, however, something within our solar system that catches the eyes of both scientists and entrepreneurs alike: asteroids. “Asteroids are lumps of metals, rock and dust, laced with ice and tar, which are the cosmic leftovers from the Solar System's formation about 4.5 billion years ago.” There exist thousands of asteroids -- ranging in size and shape -- near Earth's atmosphere. Most of the asteroids, however, are located between Mars and Jupiter in a grouping known as the Main Asteroid Belt. While “house-sized” asteroids are considered small, those smaller fragments contain metals worth millions of dollars. Due to commercial mining, such metals exist in scarce quantities on Earth. Therefore, the era of near-Earth asteroid mining is upon us. Asteroid mining is the exploitation of raw materials from asteroids -- also known as planetoids -- and other minor planets, including near-Earth objects. These raw materials include precious metals, such as gold and silver. With terrestrial natural resources slowly diminishing, then-President Barack Obama signed into law the U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act. As applied, this Act prohibits the private or public sector ownership of an asteroid. However, a private or public entity -- should it develop the means by which to mine in space -- may legally possess any natural resource it can extract from said asteroid. When signed, this Act forged a path for any entity to begin the preparations necessary for the extraction of precious metals and natural resources from an asteroid. Thus, near-Earth asteroid mining can no longer be considered an enterprise of the distant future. Of course, extracting a surplus of minerals -- some perhaps unknown to mankind -- from a space rock near Earth's atmosphere raises many red flags. One issue raised by asteroid mining involves the difficulty in tailoring current environmental laws and international treaties to protect Earth's natural environment and mine legally. To some, the benefits of near-Earth asteroid mining greatly outweigh the burdens, including the negative environmental impacts. To others, this is not the case. The key concern amongst environmentalists is air quality. Currently, mining burdens Earth's air quality with hazards such as fly ash, bottom ash, and flue-gas desulfurization. Near-Earth asteroid mining will produce similar environmental issues, requiring the United States to refine its current environmental laws. Part I of this Note will address outer space laws and their impacts on near-Earth asteroid mining, focusing primarily on the Outer Space Treaty, the Moon Treaty, and the Convention on International Liability for Damage Caused by Space Objects. Then, this Note will analyze applicable existing United States environmental laws and what these laws mean regarding near-Earth asteroid mining. Currently, existing United States environmental laws, such as the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Clean Air Act, are not sufficient to govern the incoming environmental effects of near-Earth asteroid mining. This Note will explore the intricacies of the relationship between current environmental regulations and a new frontier.

It is within the realm of possibility that their work may usher in a change in global economics as profound as the Industrial Revolution. As may be expected, press reports dealing with asteroid mining have been numerous, ranging in scope from short and breezy to broad and serious, and in quality from accurate to impressionistic to simply uninformed. There is good reason to be curious about what may be the biggest game-changer in human economic history. And there is good reason to look closely at the underlying science and engineering that form the foundation of this work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The mining industry steps into a new age through resource extraction from asteroids. Countries and corporations have a growing interest in asteroid mining. Direct examination of meteorites and remote study of asteroids reveals mineral richness far beyond currently mined terrestrial deposits. Hence, asteroid mining firms need to account for markets where resource scarcity, stunts demand growth. Doing so avoids potential market shocks and secures the end supply chain, in turn, bringing in investors and stable prices. The thesis shows that the viability of asteroid mining in Established and Unestablished Markets is directly affected by long-term demand. Without a continued need for asteroid resources, prices drop, and the prospect is rendered unfeasible. The first exchange of goods in Unestablished Markets sets the price level, allowing the first asteroid mining firm to adjust to fast material growth without competition. As the market matures, prices drop with increasing supplies. Resolving resource constraints in markets where traditional resource extraction is not viable, is the first market barrier to the success of asteroid mining and eventually utilizing asteroid resources in Established Markets." --

This book was released on 2019 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can the resources of near-Earth asteroids be profitably mined? Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) contain water, which can serve as a fuel in space, and platinum group metals, which are valuable on Earth. The presence of these resources has prompted high valuations of the near-Earth asteroid population, but it is not immediately apparent if those valuations are accurate or if they can be realized. This thesis developed the Valley of Death model to frame the challenges opposing the development of an asteroid mining industry. This model poses the two following questions. What is the cash flow of a water/platinum group metal asteroid mining industry? How can the Valley of Death be crossed to realize that cash flow? The first question was answered in the affirmative for water with a Monte Carlo simulation of the near-Earth asteroid population under resource content, price, and accessibility constraints. To assess the cash flow of platinum group metals a basis of comparison was developed between large platinum-rich near-Earth asteroids and terrestrial mines. This comparison demonstrated that, while the high valuation of the asteroids is accurate, the technical challenges of mining, refining, and transporting platinum render it unlikely to have a positive cash flow without dramatic technological advances that provide no immediate benefits. To answer the second question, the twin concepts of uncertainty reduction and technological advancement, resting on a foundation of progress incentivization, were developed. Uncertainty reduction consists of clarifying the legal status of asteroid mining and identifying the precise content and location of near-Earth asteroid resources. Technological advancement is needed to mine water at scale and to accurately assess the costs of mining platinum group metals. Incentivizing both tasks, possibly with prize competitions, will enable the industry to traverse the Valley of Death. This thesis concludes by discussing edge cases in asteroid mining which provide avenues for future research.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Asteroids are quickly moving from a speculative resource to potentially economically valuable deposits of a variety of mineral resources. There is a potential for a large scale disruptive innovation within the fundamental resource base, and at the same time policy does little to ensure that asteroid resource exploitation is socially and economically valuable. Existing international policies were put into place to prevent militarization of space and related basic risks, and the first national policies focusing on basic ownership rights are only now being put into place. We identify five major technology, policy, and social issues that must be addressed: surveying duties, technology development, mining and ownership right, and profitability or market demand. We use analysis of existing proposals and relevant historical cases from other resource rushes to evaluate regulatory concepts and determine who (international, national, or private agents) should exercise these policies. The goal is to use history and anticipatory governance to ensure the social and economic value of space resource extraction activities. Developing technologies to support the exploitation of space mineral resources would be best supported through intellectual property right support as well as public/private contests in light of the overlap of interests between public and private space systems developers. Surveying programs should share location data as a public service, but be allowed to maintain the characterization data as intellectual property to help substantiate a licensed claim or to be bought and sold. Ownership policies should mimic the actual licensing mechanisms seen with orbital allocation to mineral resources, and a claim system should encourage further risk mitigation, exploitation, and surveying done by private agents to strengthen and sustain a claim. Finally, infrastructure development for market creation and transportation of mineral resources from space to surface is fundamentally an applied research issue, and should be handled by private agents because the public and private benefits of these projects has yet to be determined."--Abstract.

Book excerpt: The clock is relentlessly ticking! Our world teeters on a knife-edge between a peaceful and prosperous future for all, and a dark winter of death and destruction that threatens to smother the light of civilization. Within 30 years, in the 2030 decade, six powerful 'drivers' will converge with unprecedented force in a statistical spike that could tear humanity apart and plunge the world into a new Dark Age. Depleted fuel supplies, massive population growth, poverty, global climate change, famine, growing water shortages and international lawlessness are on a crash course with potentially catastrophic consequences. In the face of both doomsaying and denial over the state of our world, Colin Mason cuts through the rhetoric and reams of conflicting data to muster the evidence to illustrate a broad picture of the world as it is, and our possible futures. Ultimately his message is clear; we must act decisively, collectively and immediately to alter the trajectory of humanity away from catastrophe. Offering over 100 priorities for immediate action, The 2030 Spike serves as a guidebook for humanity through the treacherous minefields and wastelands ahead to a bright, peaceful and prosperous future in which all humans have the opportunity to thrive and build a better civilization. This book is powerful and essential reading for all people concerned with the future of humanity and planet earth.

Book excerpt: From New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean comes incredible stories of science, history, finance, mythology, the arts, medicine, and more, as told by the Periodic Table. Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why is gallium (Ga, 31) the go-to element for laboratory pranksters? The Periodic Table is a crowning scientific achievement, but it's also a treasure trove of adventure, betrayal, and obsession. These fascinating tales follow every element on the table as they play out their parts in human history, and in the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them. The Disappearing Spoon masterfully fuses science with the classic lore of invention, investigation, and discovery -- from the Big Bang through the end of time. Though solid at room temperature, gallium is a moldable metal that melts at 84 degrees Fahrenheit. A classic science prank is to mold gallium spoons, serve them with tea, and watch guests recoil as their utensils disappear.

Book excerpt: The processes required to make a humble stainless steel teaspoon are remarkably complicated and every stage involves risk, coal, energy, capital, international trade and finance. Stainless steel cutlery has taken thousands of years of experimentation and knowledge to evolve and the end result is that we can eat without killing ourselves with bacteria. We are in the best times to have ever lived on planet Earth and the future will only be better. All this we take for granted. Greens may have started as genuine environmentalists. Much of the green movement has now morphed into an unelected extremist political pressure group accountable to no one. Greens create problems, many of which are concocted, and provide no solutions because of a lack of basic knowledge. This book examines green policies in the light of established knowledge and shows that they are unrealistic. Policies by greens adopted by supine governments have resulted in rising costs, increased taxes, political instability, energy poverty, decreased longevity and environmental degradation and they don't achieve their ideological aims. Wind, solar and biomass energy emit more carbon dioxide than they save and reduction of carbon dioxide emissions does nothing to change climate and only empties the pocket. No stainless steel teaspoon could be made using green "alternative energy." This book argues that unless the greens live sustainably in caves in the forest and use no trappings of the modern world, then they should be regarded as hypocrites and treated with the disdain they deserve.
