Asteroid/Space Resources Question
Hello All,
How much mass in materials/metals does a SSP require or your typical O'Neil type habitat? I just wanted to know give a rocky/metal asteroid of so many (million)tons, and if you could totally mine and refine it, how many SSPs or habitats could you build from it? Also is there a limit of how many SSPs we could put in GEO before we would have to worry about collisions? Ditto for placing Habitats in either HEEO or L4 or L5? I have a few ideas for some stories and just wanted to what is possible/reason if you could fully exploit asteroidal/space resources Just my $0.02 Keith W of St Louis, AKA Space Cadet Not Racist Not Violent Just No Longer Silent "November is Coming!" http://remembernovember.com/ |
