"The first step towards a long-term future in space is gathering the raw materials we need for construction."The author highlights two reasons why asteroid mining is important: it could help solve problems on Earth by providing resources like rare earth metals, which are used in technologies such as smartphones and electric cars; and eventually enable long term human habitation of space (for example colonies) by providing food, water, and other necessities.The author also notes that while there are many technical challenges to asteroid mining, they can be overcome with innovation.
