Many people would have been surprised to read the latest mining news in the paper. A mysterious company that is backed by James Cameron, Larry Page and Eric Schmidt has promised that it will create a new industry. This industry will overlay natural resources and space exploration.
The media has labeled the latest effort from James Cameron as a real life science fiction movie. Cameron, Page and Schmidt are all wealthy individuals. James Cameron made his money by making movies while the other two are Google executives. As these men are well respected, it is surprising that they are backing an initiative such as this one.
The company itself is called Planetary Resources. It is currently unclear what the company does. However, a press release has stated that the company will overlay space exploration and natural resources to add trillions of dollars to the global GDP. The Technology Review magazine has suggested that the company is proposing mining asteroids.
There is certainly enough money invested in this program to fund space travel. Some of the big league backers involved with this project are a commercial space entrepreneur, a planetary scientist, a veteran astronaut, a Microsoft Software Architect and a former NASA mission manager.
While this company has intrigued the minds of scientists across the world, nothing has been confirmed yet. When the company is prepared to reveal its purpose to the public, a press conference will be held. Interested parties should keep an eye on mining news in the meanwhile. This can be done by searching for mining news on popular search engines.
