The Americans allowed themselves to mine minerals on space objects

On the website of the US Congress published a document that allows US companies to engage in the extraction of minerals (attention!) on space objects.

Information Agency Interfax cites a statement by the US Congressman from the Republican Party, Bill Posey. According to Posey, the new document is a new milestone in the implementation of American innovation projects.

Congressman:

This will help our innovative companies create jobs in the state of Washington. I am proud that local enterprises are at the forefront of progress in new industries, and they will develop our economy.

According to the same Posey, permission to carry out mining operations on space objects (asteroids) is a great success for the American economy and the United States conquering space.

В document states that the United States should consider the issue of competition in outer space and evaluate the role of progress in space exploration to improve the efficiency of economic activity.

In this case, experts in the field of jurisprudence in the United States argue that it is necessary to "settle all the legal aspects of this problem."

As you can see, Washington is in its repertoire: for the sake of minerals, the States are going to extend their jurisdiction to outer space. Indeed, a unique nation ...

But in fact, pin.do.sy fellows ... they translated this issue into a practical plane .. I’ll try to explain myself.
So Ivan Ivanov wanted to "forget" helium from the Moon and he has an idea ... but money is needed ...
he went to the Bank with the project .. and to him - did you collapse from the oak?
he went to the "Office" .. and he - and who will allow you?
Figuratively speaking, no one is this "resource", the risks and costs will not be able to carry out even in the accounting department, the tax department will not play with it. we do not have such a field of activity! )))
and for pin.d.sov such a "paragraph" is now open.
They can officially invest in it, spend and write off costs and materials .... here's something like that comrades ...
This is if we discard the urya patriotism and the "axiom" that the Americans are stupid in a hollow, but at the same time consistent and pragmatic))))

[Karabanov]

As far as I know (even though I am an amateur in this matter), there are international treaties that do not define the owner’s space objects. Well, it seems like Antarctica and all its resources belong to all of humanity. Maybe someone more knowledgeable and clarifies the legal side of the issue ... (sort of like selling plots on the moon, which actually have no legal force, and in Russian - filkin letter).
Well, from a technical point of view, it is very interesting.

There is a reason. To write off or take away grandmas under this brand! And everything else is blue dregs. And such consumption items can be invented by the sea and carried through Congress. Our deputies also commit this sin. The truth is not to that extent.

[vladimir_krm]

An urgent need to submit a bill to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, allowing Ukraine to extract minerals from extragalactic objects :)

[Tor5]

I hope that in the foreseeable future they will run into a punishing fist.

[Baloo_bst]

As in the old joke, where the Martian met the Amerian astronauts:
- .... you won’t succeed, the Russians recently flew in and said that they would sow corn.

[Xanna]

Let me ask, whose fist is punishing ?! Is it not the Most High ?! So we will not survive ...
For no one else today is capable of showing this fist punishing them in this area.
Russia or China - yeah, right now, we or the Chinese will deal with such nonsense, we have other problems in bulk. Just laugh and that's it ...
And after 50 years, it turns out that the Americans staked out space for themselves (and do not care that they cannot fly there, but have legally resolved the issue) and we still have to deal with them for this right - to mine on asteroids.
So the Americans, after all, are not as stupid as they might seem.

It is interesting, and who gave permission to American astronauts to take lunar rock, and in tens of kilograms. Yes, and our lunar lunar vehicle also delivered lunar soil to Earth is obtained unauthorized.

Indeed about this ...

[silver_roman]

pf ... all this is nonsense .... let them print minerals on 3D printers. It is now fashionable and extremely attractive. And it doesn’t matter what the product will come out of!
And you can also develop trade with alien races that have certain resources.

They themselves had passed a law at the UN that space is for everyone. Now, for my loved ones, they allowed me to post plots. Soon they will remember about the Antarctic.

... yeah .. ahead of the rest of the planet ... they got to the asteroids ... on the old woman they got shit where you can now shit in space you need to go ahead everyone ... what did the rocket engines themselves do? They have a lot of plans. . dreaming it certainly is not harmful ..

[arane]

The permission to extract minerals from space objects (asteroids) is a great success for the American economy and the exploration of space by the United States.

Cool! And I thought that technical ability is success!

but what about democracy among aliens ... whom WASHINGTON will bomb when it is absent.

[Sasha12.1976]

Well Th TV, mica does.

[DMoroz]

On this account there is an Agreement on the activities of states on the moon and other celestial bodies of December 5, 1979.
This Agreement establishes that the Moon (another celestial body) and its natural resources, whether mined or not mined, are the common heritage of mankind.

Poor knowledge of international law, or just spit on it
The maximum that they can collect samples for scientific research, and even that should be shared

[Gani]

So this is still a 1979 agreement — 4 generations ago — and they claim inheritance ...

PS However, some odious American politicians do not give up hope of using your ideas.

[Mikhail Krapivin]

And why did they article the article, comrades? The article is correct, with the necessary educational and patriotic bias, and you have it in a deep minus. The fact that you do not like the Yankees ugly understand and approve, but what does the article have to do with it?

In general, the USA began to get around us in the field of astronautics, we have sequestered the budget for space, we canceled the creation of an extra-heavy rocket and a manned spacecraft, while the Americans are doing everything at an accelerated pace, the SLS rocket, the air launch system, the new Dragon 2V manned spacecraft

About 40 years ago, I allowed myself to mine minerals in space objects, but my mother said that you first need to grow up.

[3 Gorynych]

Why am I surprised, I can’t name the exact date, but about 30 years ago in the USA they already sold the whole moon! There was Temka, but Europe wanted to take part in purchases too ..

[pofigisst74]

Is it really forbidden to extract fossils there? I thought that this is possible for everyone, the only question is how to do it.

[Black]

Quote: pofigisst74

how to do it.

With humor!

[tiras85]

Engines for "fossils", sell (we'll think about it), if we do, at a triple price. Your Americans, it’s not so much. How do you get it ...

[Taranchello]

They would first make a ship on which it would be possible to reach these objects, because they even fly to our ISS. The dives are exceptional !!!

[Obolensky]

This is just a document so far. Nothing more. But knowing "this nation", we can assume that as soon as someone really starts to extract minerals or something else, then screams and courts will immediately begin.

I don’t remember exactly, maybe someone will tell you? I remember there was once a document in which it was said that the Cosmos (in particular exploration, production and exploration) is free and does not belong to any particular nation. Ie Cosmos is free.

Returning to the first paragraph, I will add. This is just a "for now" document. Nobody knows what is behind these documents. Real technologies may already exist. Or maybe not. Nobody knows. Another important thing is not to give a head start and the opportunity to dictate its conditions to the whole world to any one state (no matter which one) in terms of the Cosmos.

[DMoroz]

I already gave the link above

[chunga-changa]

Allows US companies to mine in space objects.

Well, why not, what's the problem? Who is stopping the State Duma from adopting a similar law, and extracting Russian companies on the basis of this law? According to Rozogin, we have everything in order with trampolines, therefore there is an opportunity to take the best asteroids, who's stopping?

How are we without asteroids.
Are asteroids included in sanctioned goods?

In 50 years, this topic will become relevant when a space station is created on the Moon. Perhaps humanity will reach out to the exploration of Mars, in a hundred years. Where is "New Horizons" now, who will tell you?

[teron]

Well, they are already preparing an expedition to the asteroid. First, it is supposed to capture it, transport it to the Moon’s orbit (if I don’t confuse anything), and then land on it. It is clear that not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow they will learn to do such things regularly, and there they will work out the technology of capturing, transporting and processing asteroids. At some stage, this work will become cost-effective. This activity is not military, i.e. no one will hinder the Americans in this regard. Yes, and not really able to (if it goes on like that).
Earth resources are finite. And pretty soon. But the resources of our solar system with a competent approach are practically inexhaustible. The United States is thinking about it now. And we?

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

well, what kind of a nerd, they can let them get it, they can't let them not get
I'm more interested when we can do it

[inferno_nv]

I’m wondering how they’ll stop meteorites and generally space objects, put into orbit of the earth and mining itself in space? They probably have new technologies ! Without the help of the Russian Federation, they themselves cannot fly into space, but here the extraction of resources

And one more (cited from the article): At the same time, legal experts in the United States state that it is necessary to "settle all the legal aspects of this problem." Who the hell? With God? Or with a foreign mind? It feels like they actually live in a parallel universe

[hd9305]

No need to blame all Americans for their government to blame!

[ALEA IACTA EST]

Now they will also crap aliens ?!

[C2H5OH]

And space travel is just for research? The economic component is not considered? Incl. and mining. Here - who was the first to get up and the slippers))) Although the aborigines will not be destroyed. So for the beginning, the Moon, the asteroid belt is waiting for its miners and defenders from other people's miners. :) The main thing is not to lag behind "friends" and "partners" in space exploration.

[Vadim237]

You can laugh all you want, but there are real fears that our cosmonautics will be in complete chaos - we have cuts in all respects there, and as for the extraction of minerals on asteroids, the task is still technically complex, but possible - in 15 - 20 years it will be feasible, Recently, a platinum meteorite flew close to the earth; according to calculations, it weighed 90 million tons of platinum.

[Junior, I]

These clowns are funny!
You don't need to go to the circus.
And they will pass a law that will allow them to issue a contract for the extraction of minerals.

[PValery53]

Without the sanction (permission) of Russia, America’s “permission” to itself to “extract minerals in space” is a fool’s errand.

[YaMZ-238]

Well, if they allow themselves...then what should other countries do before them???
