Deep Space Industries joins race to mine asteroids

Deep Space Industries (DPI) has entered the race to launch spacecraft that would identify and mine near-earth asteroids, in the hopes of establishing a new space economy.
The California-based company on Tuesday announced plans to fly the world’s first commercial interplanetary mining mission. Its Prospector-1 would rendezvous an asteroid near earth and investigate it to determine its value as a source of space resources.
