Ingenious and ambitious plans to tame space and the resources therein. A company started by Eric Anderson and Peter Diamandis started a little-known company called Planetary Resources that will be able to explore, research, and mine the solar system, and surely beyond.
According to Reuters, Larry Page, billionaire Google co-founder, and James Cameron will be investing and promoting Planetary Resources in order to prepare for the domination of space. I can only hope that these extremely wealthy and powerful people look to the average population for help and to open up to them because we deserve to be a part of it to.
As I mentioned in the past with Asteroid Mining Operations AMOPS, I would donate my life to being the first person to orbit, land, and mine on an asteroid, either in person or even robotic control. Looking to the average population for hobbyist airplane, underwater rover, helicopter, drone, and related pilots will help to expand our reach into space.
I still believe that capturing a Near-Earth Object/Asteroid/Possible Meteor NEO -one that would already be on it's way here- and placing it into orbit with our planet for research and mining would be beneficial for the future of human race in that we will not only be able to tap into the endless resources of space, but we will also be able to expand the human race deeper into the cosmos by doing such amazing feats.
If my life were better, and I didn't have such an issue with the current de-education system -and perpetual debt-slave system- then I might be able to start Payton Space Institute, like I wanted. Instead, I may perish in a battle against the evil global elite that may never allow me the opportunity to participate in space exploration, invention creation, and overall research.
Anyone that gets the opportunity to expand our civilization beyond our Earthly atmosphere should know that you will be forever remembered for your selfless sacrifice to human space prosperity and procreation.
