Show Notes
ExLabs, a team from Long Beach, is launching a spacecraft in 2028 to rendezvous with asteroid Apophis in 2029. The mission, funded by U.S. Space Force, Air Force, NASA, and JPL grants, aims to study the asteroids composition and structure. The probe will operate autonomously due to the vast distance, and the data will be sold to clients. The team envisions a future where space mining becomes an industry, providing rare metals for technology. They also plan to develop larger ships for asteroid study and transportation to lunar orbits, potentially averting future asteroid threats.
