Henry Spenser – Early Days  |  Moonandback Interview

(Before It's News)

Henry Spencer offers his opinion on Deep Space Industries’ and Planetary Resources’ initiatives, says there is a “long road to hoe” before we see asteroid mining and that its hard to find “patient” investment money, criticizes the lack of funding for Earth-based asteroid searching and tracking, maintains that it’s hard to do deep space missions “on the cheap”, due mainly to communications considerations, and covers even more ground in the final segment of his interview with Moonandback at the Space Access conference.
