Description
This month's episode dives into the details of water ice mining near-Earth object (NEO) asteroids with Dr. Andrew Rivkin, lead asteroid researcher from John Hopkins, to learn about how hydrated NEOs can enable the ecosystem, technologies, and humans beyond planet Earth with a focus on the search, quantity, accessibility, and implications of NEOs.
Key topics discussed include asteroid classes, carbonaceous asteroids, size and H2O mass estimates in NEOs, infrared spectroscopy, limitations of Earth and space telescopes, James Webb on imaging asteroids, water-based propulsion, and water ice asteroid mining vs. lunar ice mining
