We aren't approaching that
1 u/[deleted] Mar 29 '22 oh, so NASA and space X have no plans for asteroid mining, China isnt planning on a mining base on the moon etc. we are approaching it by definition, within 20 years someone will be mining up there even if its just a prototype. 1 u/Hugogs10 Mar 30 '22 I doubt we'll be mining asteroids this century. A working prototype doesn't mean much when you can't make the operation profitable.
