| Summary | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mining the thousands of small bodies interior to Jupiter's orbit could fuel the rapid industrialization of space. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Between Mars and Jupiter are a trove of rocks full of valuable elements. They fall into three broad categories: Stony asteroids contain some metals along with rare fissiles, carbonaceous asteroids are sources of volatiles, and metallic asteroids are rich in both base and noble metals. Chances of water increase when asteroids are located further from the sun. While much further away than the Moon and Mars, an asteroid's negligible gravity will allow us to construct catapults far more cheaply. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Allows sending probes to the Asteroid Belt and construction of habitats there | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The number of habitat mining modules we can support without paying a Mission Control cost increases by 6 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Factions that contributed more to this tech will complete scans of the space body faster | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| "If it isn't ours, it's somebody else's. And if it's somebody else's, sooner or later they'll use it against us. That's why we have to take it, whether we need it or not." Colonel Hanse Castillo, Humanity First Quoted in his official biography "Five Moves Ahead," 2015 (canceled before publication). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
