Earth is full of natural resources. To get to them, though, they must be mined, which is dangerous to people and the planet. Asteroids are full of those same minerals and metals. Mining them would be much safer! But would the First Asteroid Mining Mission even be possible? How would we be able to safely mine materials—and how would they get back to Earth? The Firsts in Outer Space series takes readers on a journey to the stars—and beyond.
