As I pointed out, I am not against the idea of mining NEOs. I said that I would like information on practicalities. Subsequently, I have found out that there are very many (thousands) of NEOs, which, of course, increases the possibilities of suitable choices for mining. Having said that, there...

Yes. Of course, I was very young when he was around. But I well remember Ann Hathaway giving us toffee apples and coke when we were watching television. Sometimes, though, I think my memories get a little confused? Ah, well. Must be old age. Cat :)

<Sigh>

It was relevant to my remark: OK, I understand Juliet's speech "A rose by any other name . . . . . . ". Was it just as simple as that? I was expecting at least: Cat :) :) :)

I have seen no satisfactory answer to my post #255. Here is another question: Are you suggesting that spaceships can pass through double slits? The point about the double split experiment is that the photons interact. Photons are sorted, not created. The experiment works on a micro scale...

How long do NEAs stay near Earth? So mining time might be limited, before asteroid leaves - for how long. However, there are so many, that some might be viable. Do we have the means to select from these, any with viable prospects? There is a start. Cat :)

Here is a start: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/ There are a lot, which is helpful. From the stats, it is evident that, as one might expect, the ellipticities are variable. See the difference between nominal and minimal distances. Cat :)

I have some research to do, but are "near Earth" asteroids near the Earth for long enough? I don't know. Do NEAs just come close for a short time in a highly elliptical orbit, or do they stay within acessible distance for long periods? I don't know. I assume there would be no humans...

Here is the summary of my AI question: Cat :)

Have you counted this "people must take electrons from air and make electrons move in a machine" human input in your "perpetual motion" calculations? Cat :)

Zhibek, is there any reason you have not replied to #252? "Cannot", perhaps? Cat :)
