The us space agency is believed to be mining asteroids
Nasa is currently not engaged in asteroid mining activities
She said that various entities are actively working on advancing this field while the technologies for mining asteroids are not yet well developed
She said nasus is focused on conducting fundamental science research missions that involve exploring asteroids to gain a deeper understanding of their composition and characteristics
One example is the nasa psyche mission which aims to visit an asteroid composed of metal
These scientific missions may prove valuable for future asteroid mining
The professor said that while nasa is not currently mining asteroids their efforts could potentially pave the way for such activities in the distant future
