Miners of the future seen digging on rich asteroids
MIT scientists at the Lunar Science Conference outlined a space mining plan. Iron and nickel-rich asteroids could supply Earth for centuries, with a space- based process to extract, transport, and refine metals. They project yearly returns of about 140 billion dollars and a scalable workforce on the asteroids.

Goddard's Pioneer Rocket Launched Fifty Years Ago
Fifty years ago on a Massachusetts farm, Robert Goddard launched the first liquid propelled rocket, a milestone likened to the Wright brothers’ flight. The 11 foot tall craft demonstrated propulsion principles that later guided the Saturn V and lunar missions, with Goddard hailed as a key early figure in rocketry research.
