Asteroid mining and the conquest of the outer-space market

Mining in space: The co-founder of Deep Space Industries is developing technologies that will enable us, by the year 2020, to harvest asteroids for fuel and building materials. His satellites will become gas stations in space! David Gump speaks about conquering the outer space market.

Asteroid mining. Using and generating resources instead of spending billions to ship earth’s dwindling supplies into space. David Gump explains why Elon Musk was so successful with Space-X –  and why governments hardly ever invest in this kind of project.

Making space travel cheaper and more efficient in the future is the engine driving the idea of Deep Space Industries, Inc. An excursion to a distant world that will face the same crisis as today’s: resource scarcity.
