| Popis: |
Sometimes U. S. leadership in the world is questioned and rightly so. But for better or worse, the United States does lead in efforts to develop space mining activities. The four new ventures that have been leading this initiative are all U. S. in origin and location, and the U. S Space Act of 2015 provides a possible legal and regulatory pathway to actually controlling and promoting commercial activities in space in coming years. The rest of the world is watching closely. Some are concerned about the precedent. Others are poised to see how they might share in the bounties of outer space in future years. This chapter explores why and how U. S. space initiatives are forging ahead. It explores what is happening and examines the likelihood that these visionary dreams of young space entrepreneurs will be realized in their lifetimes. |
