@Jerrod Braley We will not care about the asteroids and the moon. We will use it just like a virus does to our body but without the resistance from the body. When there is nothing to harvest go to other asteroid and so on.. EDIT: This is what I understood from the video and I really believe it will happen

@@ZackWolfMusic I've seen Saturn and it's rings with my own eyes just using some binoculars, you can see the ISS if you know where to look. There's math and scientific research and equations that if you study hard enough you can do yourself on paper that show how space and physics work. There are private agencies pioneering into space that will provide comercial space travel and if you're young enough you'll probably be able to see happen or maybe even travel to space yourself. There are literal videos of balloons sent out to space showing the travel frkm ground to space with no cuts including one video where a daredevil skydived from space onto earth this was a marketing stunt by Redbull. You don't have to trust government agencies to prove space is real and the earth is a globe. Lots of comercial and private companies are doing that for you. If you had enough money you could see yourself. In a survey by Yougov 11% of the population believes the earth is flat or is skeptical on a round earth. There are a total of 2,604 billionaires in the world. With those stats around 286 billionaires should theoretically either not belive in a globe or are skeptical. Yet noone has come forward trying to disprove a round earth or space which could change all of history and science. Because they know it'll be a waste of money theyll just find a ball in space and that's what the billionaires that did go to space find just a GLOBE in SPACE.
@@ihswap AL.L that stuff you so called see you can only see it through a filter lens. There is a difference of showing how space and PHYSICS work and proving it. Proving space is not possible not at all the cloest thing we have to space is low earth orbit. No space agency/ company is going to take a group of people to space, but if you wanna experience space there is space companies that let you experience space Virtual reality, not in reality, and if you had big money to go to space like 100k or 50k to buy a ticket to space you will only be in low earth orbit If not virtual reality. The red bull stunt was filmed in low earth orbit with a fish eye lens to show the fake pretend curvature of earth, fish eye lens, windows are one of the easiest ways people believe they live on a sphere round earth, if you buy a non fish eye lens attach to a ballon you will not see no curvature of earth, if we really on a olblate speriod earth that has curvature then we should be able to easily with a non fish eye lens thr curvature of earth, a fish eye lens is a concave lens that curves everything it records and this one of many reasons what make people believe earth is a sphere when in fact it is a flat earth. Don't trust the government agencies about space being real it is not space is science fiction that plays with your subconscious mind to make you believe it is true, space is a dream that why every space image is animated and CGI, painted art. Those so called billionaires you are talking about they don't give a care and also some of them don't wanna mention earth is flat because they will be ridiculed and made fun of and lose credibility. Earth is actually flat and yes it would change everything as we know it, you see the ball theory and it's heliocentric model is phesdo science just like astro PHYSICS also evolution big bang, dinosaurs earth being billions of years old is a hoax If the earth is billions of years old how are we in the year 2019? This is simple sh!t you should be asking yourself but yet you stay in denial of the truth earh being a flat plane. The BILLIONAIRES of this earth don't wanna spend money to show the masses the earth is flat it will show everything that has been hidden for thousands of years and will show how fake Nasa, space x and others are. Planets are not spheres they are lights in the firmament just like the sun and the moon and there is only seven planetary lights not that fake painting/ CGi video animation planets you get from Nasa that is made using Computer software.

Some of the environmental benefits of mining in space instead of Earth include: It is easier to get from the Moon or some asteroids to low Earth orbit than it is to get from Earth to low Earth orbit. If we mine ice on either the Moon or asteroids, apply electrolysis to separate out the hydrogen and oxygen, we can use that as a propellant for satellites or space missions. This will mean fewer refuel launches from Earth, and having to relaunch fewer satellites (today they last ~20 years then run out of fuel so we relaunch them). Metals are becoming increasing harder to extract on Earth, with many of the concentrated, near surface deposits already being extracted. This leaves a number of deeper and less concentrated deposits with a greater impact to extract. As we are reliant on metals, extracting these from an asteroid and returning them to Earth may have less of an environmental impact. Helium 3 can be found on the Moon in abundance. While nuclear fusion technology seems to be some way off, if it were commercialised, a supply of helium 3 from the Moon could supply fusion reactors for clean energy. And an extra one not quite related to mining - but some people have proposed putting solar panels on the Moon and beaming the power back to the Earth’s surface to be collected and used.
I'd love to see the US or any country, try to bring "freedom" to an advanced alien civilization that claimed that $700 quintillion asteroid already. I bet we'd try to do it in our infinite arrogance, get blown to kingdom come and the survivors would come back crying about how "oppressive" the aliens are
This content is absolutely, downright, outstanding; it's educative, insightful, and overall magnificent. Bravo to the people who worked on these episodes! Bloomberg have been on FIRE with this series. ... I was in the middle of binge-watching when I realized Ep. 4 is currently the latest one. Now I'm sad.
4:15 Actually you could have the opposite happen if the price changes the material might be used for things it is not now. Thus making the demand go up instead and the price correcting for that move.
Absolutely, downright, brilliant production; educative, insightful, wonderfully exciting and inspirational. Thank you for this, Bloomberg and the team who made this video possible!
That’s cool and all, but all I heard throughout this, was “money to be made”, we are always innovating to make other’s richer in monetary value, but what about the enrichment of the human species? I guess money > humans, am I right? Before you argue w/me that money is a driving factor for innovation, let’s argue why our health and knowledge shouldn’t be the driving factor in our lives.
I promise you guys I'll dedicate my life to space industry development based on future space exploration. My name will be in that Trillionaire list .. already creating my plan, strategy and ideas. You'll hear from me sooner or later
This has always been my dream career ever since i was really young. I cant exactly say what drove me to this at that time, but i know what keeps me dreaming about it.
If the price goes down on some type of metals, the use of that metal will go up, there lots of industrial application for silver and gold, but we might suffer from silver and gold burn out, because some people will go crazy with the stuff!
Matt Bershinsky if it was not for money, trading would be extremely inefficient. Mining asteroids would not really generate production value but will only create extreme inflation. Pretty much like what happened with the Spanish conquistadors. It would be pretty much like travelling to space in order to print money from a central bank printer. Completely unproductive with catastrophic consequences. Money should be unreproducible.
As Kurzgesagt mentioned in their video, the more reason to have a moon base to work from space. As your base is already on the moon, costs less then trying to go into orbit everytime.
Unless you understand that the point of this whole video is supposed to attract Investors for mining companies like Honeybee robotics or just spaceX etc.. That’s how you might be able to benefit from this too, by buying shares..
LOL this isn't about the numbers, this is about our next frontier, I don't think their point is about being a Trillionaire, its about the next economic enterprise in space would generate Trillions in general !
you should’ve have said “i could visit the moon one day” not see because we can see the moon everynight unless you are too sloth not doing anything at night or not looking up
Exactly space is the next level in human evolution no doubt about it. Mining on the Moon and Mars will be productive only on-world while asteroids will be open to Earth.
Siriusly though, a tennis court's space is two dimensional. It is standardized, but the volume above and/or below it is not. So, as a unit of surface area fine... volume, not so much. And I would know. Tennis is my racquet, after all. ;) Truly, "cubic tennis court" seems a bit "lob-sided" to me. ;)
There is an incredible amount of work behind those videos. Bloomberg deserves to be compensated. It's already stunning that we have access to such high-quality journalism just by watching some ads
I have been thinking of this concept for five years now and there it is, finally popped up as an idea. Keep in mind that we Humans are like any other animal, but we also came to require many things more than food. Nothing will drive a space race more than a race to exploit precious metals and other materials. Especially as our loneliness is growing bigger and our little planet becomes more and more of a precious jewel, all mining process on Earth will be eventually banned, very strictly.
Ugh.... The more of something you have the more it deprecates. You bring missive amounts of gold to earth or any other mettle, the value drops significantly, you would have a gold rush it be valued less then aluminum. What you mine in space will likely be used in space, and the most valuable thing you will likely ever mine in space, is water .
The first organization/country to do this successfully will cause A runaway Inflation similar to what Spain experienced when it took possession of the silver mountain in Peru.
How about one based on how much everything upsets the planets balance... cause that’s what keeps us alive and thus the most valuable thing by definition. Drive your car to work... -5 earth points, plant tree + 10 earth points... seriously if this video has a message it is that resources are not finite( we don’t know how to reverse their decay) and that they are worth so much more that money.... money is made up... it can’t be the thing that drives our ambition
I guess what I'm failing to understand is why these materials can't be used for their general purposes. Example: Iron can be used for building, for forging. Gold also used in some construction, platinum, is of course used in a lot of our electronics. Why does everything have to revolve around what it's worth moneywise? We look so much at how much money we can gain form something, and the money value of something going up or down, that we forget all about an items general uses. It really is such a shame.
This video was so well put together. Its accurate and relevant to what we are likely going to see in this industry without all the fake and unrealistic ideas that get thrown into most 'space' related videos. Loving it.
I like how they mention that bringing an asteroid with tons of metals back to earth would make the price go way down and say it like that’s a bad thing.
'cause they think with 20th century mind. As Jeremy Rifkin says, we are towards a zero-cost society, with abundance of resources and exponential reduction of scarcity. For example, if space mining increase the total amount of platinum of course price of this material will fall but more products will be made with platinum because of that, creating new markets and new demands with every new product.
man.. I don't know, I feel so sad right now, knowing that I'll probably never witness such things as space mining or deep space exploration. really born too early to explore the universe
We don't, really, it's just about organizing the mission and decreasing expenditure. You know how expensive and dangerous the Apollo missions were? Both the U.S. and Soviet Russia were willing to spare no expense in order to one up each other. Today's projected missions occurring in the next few years are being done in just the multi-millions rather than the multi-billions, and are nearly completely AI driven rather than human driven like the Apollo program.
@@buraburee There is a fascinating video by Tom Scott that explains why the video quality crashes when a static-like image plays on the screen. It had to do with limited bandwidth.
"Bringing in needed materials would drop those materials' value to zero, so we can't do it." Humanity has gone insane. We have to find a way past the Profit-Before-Progress mindset
Providing everyone on earth with the rarest of resources that it takes money to mine. You can’t expect money to be used to extract something of value... to sell at a fraction, or even give away. Why not just restrict the majority from accessing it
youd just bring in the required amount and sell it for lesser prices. then mining companies selling the same products would just collapse and thats when profits start pouring in as you bring in more and more materials.
Bringing quintillions of gold would crash the world economy and the savings of millions of middle class people, while many billionaires have diversified investments.
1:47 Would the abundance of minerals from mining asteroids shift the supply curve down; Reducing the per unit value of the commodity? If so, then those are over estimated values.
any body of mass contain gravity literally, meaning you also have your own field of gravity, you just don't notice it because it is miniscule comparing to gravity of earth.

"And even returning the most valuable asteroids could drastically devalue those materials" - Price and value are not synonymous!

Water 💧 is the most valuable thing to start mining in space, to make fuel, to make everything else in space vastly cheaper.
Some of the environmental benefits of mining in space instead of Earth include:
It is easier to get from the Moon or some asteroids to low Earth orbit than it is to get from Earth to low Earth orbit. If we mine ice on either the Moon or asteroids, apply electrolysis to separate out the hydrogen and oxygen, we can use that as a propellant for satellites or space missions.

Exactly space is the next level in human evolution no doubt about it. Mining on the Moon and Mars will be productive only on-world while asteroids will be open to Earth.
15:00 - "okay okay hear me out, we're not going to LAND on the asteroid, we're going to EAT it instead"
Others: How to be trillionaire!
My friend: how to be rich while sleeping.
And wake up broke.
I am loving with this series Blomberg 🥰
@Crebs Park
Why does that matter?
It doesn’t matter and I love this series too....
Dead Space taught me it is a terrible idea to mine asteroids.
This isn't dead space
@@jo_nm9484 It's Liven't space
Just bring big weapons
was looking for you have a thumbs up
14:55 Brilliant. I have never before heard "cubic tennis court" used as a unit of volume. Love it.
I guess it will serve. ;)
Siriusly though, a tennis court's space is two dimensional. It is standardized, but the volume above and/or below it is not. So, as a unit of surface area fine... volume, not so much. And I would know. Tennis is my racquet, after all. ;) Truly, "cubic tennis court" seems a bit "lob-sided" to me. ;)
Supply goes up, price comes down... So wouldn't be as valuable once you have it

@@arnowisp6244 to whom? Single mother or drug addicts🌚
I have been thinking of this concept for five years now and there it is, finally popped up as an idea.
Keep in mind that we Humans are like any other animal, but we also came to require many things more than food. Nothing will drive a space race more than a race to exploit precious metals and other materials. Especially as our loneliness is growing bigger and our little planet becomes more and more of a precious jewel, all mining process on Earth will be eventually banned, very strictly.
Very common idea.
Thank you Bloomberg for making this series.
I was a trillionaire.
But then I woke up.
feel u :(
maybe lets start with somebody elses moon
1 million subs and 13,000 views hahaha
Lol you’re still a thing?😹
You seem happy.
Fantastic series - both entertaining, informing and inspiring. I'd love to see more of the kind!
I want some of that unobtanium.

Ugh.... The more of something you have the more it deprecates. You bring missive amounts of gold to earth or any other mettle, the value drops significantly, you would have a gold rush it be valued less then aluminum. What you mine in space will likely be used in space, and the most valuable thing you will likely ever mine in space, is water .
The first organization/country to do this successfully will cause
A runaway Inflation similar to what Spain experienced when it took possession of the silver mountain in Peru.
It better be America, or our country is fucked. The real Cold War won’t end for a long time to come
I'm not so sure. It will be a gradual increase of valuable resources. We're not going to bring an entire asteroid down to Earth all at once.
This isn’t a bad thing it just means we need to develop a new economy and economy not based on scarcity but on abundance
How about one based on how much everything upsets the planets balance... cause that’s what keeps us alive and thus the most valuable thing by definition. Drive your car to work... -5 earth points, plant tree + 10 earth points... seriously if this video has a message it is that resources are not finite( we don’t know how to reverse their decay) and that they are worth so much more that money.... money is made up... it can’t be the thing that drives our ambition
One of the greatest series of all time!
I guess what I'm failing to understand is why these materials can't be used for their general purposes. Example: Iron can be used for building, for forging. Gold also used in some construction, platinum, is of course used in a lot of our electronics. Why does everything have to revolve around what it's worth moneywise? We look so much at how much money we can gain form something, and the money value of something going up or down, that we forget all about an items general uses. It really is such a shame.
This video was so well put together. Its accurate and relevant to what we are likely going to see in this industry without all the fake and unrealistic ideas that get thrown into most 'space' related videos. Loving it.
My astronomy professor said “going to the moon is no longer valuable due to research done 50 years ago”. He was dead wrong.
That statement he made is stupid in itself.
Is he still a Professor??? ...Oh that's right ...you said fifty years ago!!! Sorry......
We can restart those old mines on the moon
Soon we'll have real "Belters", and then we can live the Expanse
No we won't
I think the use centrefugal gravity in space habitats would prevent that.
I love the expanse series 😍😍
@@mileskilometer6401 season 4 coming up
oi, belta lowda :D
I like how they mention that bringing an asteroid with tons of metals back to earth would make the price go way down and say it like that’s a bad thing.
'cause they think with 20th century mind. As Jeremy Rifkin says, we are towards a zero-cost society, with abundance of resources and exponential reduction of scarcity. For example, if space mining increase the total amount of platinum of course price of this material will fall but more products will be made with platinum because of that, creating new markets and new demands with every new product.
If a price goes down, probably does the profit
4:08 Best part.
🤣
Jeffery Askins 😂 you a fool
now FRICK
What if you dissolved the space rock n then sent it back in a container?
Or just broke it up into pieces which can be stored in a bay
I would love to see my kids going in to this field. Since It even could some day make silver wiring practical at large scale like motors,etc.
I wish so badly that I'm alive to see at least some human presence in space...
!!
man.. I don't know, I feel so sad right now, knowing that I'll probably never witness such things as space mining or deep space exploration.
really born too early to explore the universe
Sad yet humbling feeling...
Don't worry in time you will get your chance.
Hold my coffee, ...
Got about ohhh three years? Seriously ... asked.
you born early to experience fresh air, healthy food, loyal people around you. Blessed
This is the best series you guys have ever done. Keep em' coming.
Fly me up I'll jump out with a pickaxe and boom we got unlimited resources
I was thinking about that too
This is a road map of innovative companies to invest in. Thank you
Exactly
Love the entire series so far, well done

3:30 iron, nickel, platinum and even gold. uh... platinum is more valuable than gold.
I will make artificial crude oil in space. It's gonna be more valuable
Our bodies are naturally selected for the earth environment. We need new bodies for space.

Actually gold would devalue since the supply would increase by alot.
They literally said that

It's all fun and games 'til someone starts harvesting asteroids.
Its me!!
Mr beast's great grand son : first to mine asteroid keeps it metals😂
im ded
Haha ight bet
It's quite ironic that we still have trouble managing to land on the surface of the moon more than 50 years later from the first moon landing.
We don't, really, it's just about organizing the mission and decreasing expenditure. You know how expensive and dangerous the Apollo missions were? Both the U.S. and Soviet Russia were willing to spare no expense in order to one up each other. Today's projected missions occurring in the next few years are being done in just the multi-millions rather than the multi-billions, and are nearly completely AI driven rather than human driven like the Apollo program.

"Bringing in needed materials would drop those materials' value to zero, so we can't do it." Humanity has gone insane. We have to find a way past the Profit-Before-Progress mindset
My thought was exactly that
Jaimie Bailey exactly
So basically screw sharing it with the people to make all life easier
They can’t have that
Providing everyone on earth with the rarest of resources that it takes money to mine. You can’t expect money to be used to extract something of value... to sell at a fraction, or even give away. Why not just restrict the majority from accessing it
youd just bring in the required amount and sell it for lesser prices. then mining companies selling the same products would just collapse and thats when profits start pouring in as you bring in more and more materials.
Bringing quintillions of gold would crash the world economy and the savings of millions of middle class people, while many billionaires have diversified investments.
Wow this video makes me excited for the future of space. I really hope that I will get out there some day. :)

3:37 mins of my life that i will never get back!!
1:47 Would the abundance of minerals from mining asteroids shift the supply curve down; Reducing the per unit value of the commodity? If so, then those are over estimated values.
When they mention the automated freight train for space mining I was definitely thinking Factorio :)
the question should be"who doesnt wants to be a Zillionaire?"
Just use the 'Drill-O-Matic' Mining Excavator
Quick question, if a object in space is big enough can that object have gravity or does it still need to check other requirements
any body of mass contain gravity literally, meaning you also have your own field of gravity, you just don't notice it because it is miniscule comparing to gravity of earth.
Don't worry. Someday we'll all be rich when one of these metal giants brings every person on earth it's riches.
Who wants to go mine in space 🖐🏼🖐🏼🖐🏼🖐🏼
