[SpaceProgram] MIT Tech review: Planetary Resources -- a New Asteroid Mining Operation?

[Jerry Isdale]

"On Tuesday, a new company called Planetary Resources will announce its existence at the Charles Simonyi Space Gallery at The Museum of Flight in Seattle. It's not clear what the firm does, but its roster of backers incudes Google cofounders Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, filmmaker James Cameron, former Microsoftie (and space philanthropist) Charles Simonyi, and Ross Perot Jr., son of the former presidential candidate."

Hmm, maybe these folks will drop a small ($1mil) donation to help ensure a well trained workforce
