| book description |

This book examines the emerging industry of extracting resources from celestial bodies, focusing on the ethical, legal, and technological challenges involved. As private companies and national agencies pursue the untapped potential of asteroids and the Moon, the book explores who stands to benefit and how this can be achieved responsibly and sustainably. It addresses critical questions surrounding equity in resource extraction and whether space will remain a shared domain or become a battleground for economic and geopolitical competition. The book also highlights the role of technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and quantum computing in improving transparency and accountability in space mining operations. In addition to technological insights, the book examines gaps in international space law and offers governance models to guide future activities, ensuring that the exploitation of space resources benefits all humanity. Ideal for policymakers, industry professionals, academics, and those curious about the future of space exploration, Space Mining: Humanityâ€™s Quest for Equity provides a balanced analysis of the opportunities and risks involved in space mining. This book invites readers to consider how humanityâ€™s role in the cosmos can align with principles of fairness, sustainability, and long-term stewardship.
