I don't think that's the plan. It's too long of a voyage for a person. They need it to be fully automated.
Interesting.
I dont think it can be done without a human up there.
Maybe it won’t work, but I think that’s the plan.
hhhmm...
Do you think silver will ever become more valuable than gold?
No. It’s much more common and doesn’t have as special of material properties.
It used throughout industry all the time!
That's largely because it's so much cheaper. For many industrial applications silver is the next best metal to gold, but it's close enough that gold isn't worth the cost.
There are a couple of properties where silver is the best. If I'm remembering correctly, it's thermal and electrical conductivity, as well as reflectivity.
Yes, and in the industry now it is being widely used.
For solar and high quality electronics.
No you don't. You can have other robots do it. All controlled by someone in orbit around the asteroid
Have you ever done maintenance before?
Do you know how hard it is to instruct someone else on how to fix something?
Let alone a robot you have to control?
You still have to have a person up there to do the maintenance and control the robots.
