"Mining asteroids could reduce the burden on Earth’s resources."

That seems untrue, are you sure that's true? It's your job to determine if things are true before you report them.

@arstechnica @nyrath I have now witnessed two full generations of companies proposing to do privately funded space resource utilization projects either switch to Earth-orbit satellite projects, fold completely, or be taken over by scammers.

So I note how the "Asteroid Mining Corporation Ltd" is simply starting with doing Earth-orbit satellite projects.
