I believe asteroid mining will be huge, your thoughts on refueling stations and being able to gather water without having to carry it is definitely something that needs to be watched!

I think also in the future there will be many space colonies and construction companies that will prosper.
Food production should also be right up there on the top of the list.

Hi @tbnfl4sun
You are right, there is a huge amount of stuff that we humans need to bring with us if we are to venture further into space than the ISS. So hopefully it is going to be good times for all sorts of contractors over the next years.

According to the UN and as written on the comment written by @mahassan companies don't own the asteroid and all the extra-atmospheric objects. This does not allow them to exploit them and gain profit.

Hi @Suoada,
Companies can mine for resources, but not claim ownership to different asteroids.
Space is reserved for the benefit and is the province of all mankind.
Cheers, @Onebitnews

Yes @tbnfl4sun what you say is totally true unfortunately every scientific discovery becomes after an opportunity for commercial exploitations and so it is normal to plan colonies also in space.
