Bears Talk About Space: Elon Musk Possibly Mining a Gold-Rich Asteroid and Other Asteroid News
Join the bear brothers, Old Bearby and Tommy Bear, as they talk about Elon Musk possibly mining a gold-rich asteroid in the future, the proposal of a team of researchers to build a base in orbit of Ceres, and Asteroid 2021 AL1, which will pass by the Earth on 1.16.2021.
Correction: 2021 AL 1 is around 29 meters, not 11 meters, according to NASA: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/asteroid-watch/next-five-approaches
