Hi Ian,

Spectro-analysis of Ra-Shalom, a carbonaceous NEO that passed relatively
close to Earth in the late 1970s, indicated that it was 10% water -
mixed into an oil-like sludge. If other carbonaceous NEOs are similar,
then they may produce a good source of water in nearby space. The carbon
would also be very useful.

Best wishes, Andy.
