Re: Exploiting Asteroid Belts
I've always been a bit miffed that remote mining wasn't more useful. I think that probably the best modification that could be made would be to reduce the size of the mining components so that they fit in a small satellite (and that they increased in capabilities quickly)
I think that remote mining will play a huge part in our economy once we make it off the planet...mostly because people would rather have a dirty smelly mine on a far away asteroid than next to their house.
In fact, maybe mineral miner facilities should generate unhappiness.
