Asteroid Mining - Humanity's Future in Space | Space Documentary | Universe Documentary

As Earth’s population continues to swell, the strain on our planet’s resources continues to grow. And although ecologists assert that we aren’t at the tipping point just yet, Earth has a finite amount of resources. Eventually, we are going to run out, so it makes sense to start planning for that inevitability now.
Our recent rise in high-tech consumption has fueled a need for rare metals. They may even lead to an answer to the energy crisis. But where can we find enough rare metal to support these rising needs? States and corporations around the world are now investing in the field of asteroid mining activity as it is a promising place to find all these precious metals.
