| What is this site? This site is the organizing platform of an informally organized community of diverse people spread out over the planet who exchange on the challenge of mining asteroids. The challenge is broad and wide: Technical, operational, financial and political. |
What is the role of this
site? This site pulls together documents, articles and links that have emerged in the work of the group. The active exchange and debate happens in the mailinglists (see below). |
How is the work organized? The group works and discusses through a set of mailing lists, with a coordinating main list ("mother") and sublists branching off to work on specific topics ("daughters"). These mailing lists are Yahoogroups. |
