Abstract
If there is anything you would like to learn about asteroids and meteorites, and how we might use asteroid resources to expand into space, this is a must-have book. This book summarizes the current state of knowledge about these objects in enough detail to satisfy even the most technically demanding space enthusiast. The material is not really a 101-level book, nor is the information in it solely applicable to asteroid mining. A key focus is on near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), providing details about their composition, chemistry, orbits, albedos, and classifications. Like miners of old, readers may need to sift the gems of information from the plethora of data. However, by the end, readers will be rewarded with a long-term plan for mining the asteroids and using their resources to expand our civilization throughout the Solar System.
