The Gold Rush in Space:
the Risk of Mining Asteroids with  Lynda Williams
 
Monday, October 10, 12 noon - 1 pm
Newman Auditorium, Emeritus Hall
Santa Rosa Campus

The rush is on to mine asteroids for precious rare earth metals like platinum and gold. Last year, President Obama signed into law the US SPACE Act of 2015 granting property rights to materials that U.S. companies mine from asteroids, the moon and other celestial bodies.  With no public debate or international negotiation, the act unilaterally empowers private US space companies to keep whatever space booty they can grab.  In honor of the UN World Space Week, SRJC physics instructor and space activist, Lynda Williams, will explore the risks involved in the corporate space race to mine the final frontier.
