Asteroid mining could be space’s new frontier: the problem is doing it legally

Rob Davies

Concepts of Thinking: Geographic Perspective, 

Interrelationships

Inquiry: What types of minerals could potential be mined in space? How could it be possible to mine minerals from space? How might these extraterrestrial minerals impact the Global Environment? What might be needed to ensure that mining these minerals is legal?

Activity: Map out where these (the potential extraterrestrial) minerals can be found on earth. Do an issue analysis to determine the positions and possible solutions to this problem. Communicate the best possible solution to the appropriate audience.
