Asteroid mining is a concept that involves the extraction of useful materials from asteroids. Due to their accessibility, near-Earth asteroids (those asteroids that pass near the Earth, also known as NEAs) are a particularly accessible subset of the asteroids that provide potentially attractive targets for resources to support space industrialization. 1, record 1, English, - asteroid%20mining

L'expression usuelle de «ressources spatiales» rend compte du caractère atypique du milieu et s'entend comme un raccourci désignant les opportunités d'usages […] Pour retrouver un semblant de similitude avec nos pratiques terrestres, il faut la considérer dans le cadre particulier des corps célestes. L'installation d'une base lunaire, prévue pour après 2025, voire à plus longue échéance d'une base martienne, est de fait indissociable de la question de l'exploitation des ressources in situ, de même que celle de l'exploitation minière des astéroïdes. 1, record 1, French, - exploitation%20mini%C3%A8re%20des%20ast%C3%A9ro%C3%AFdes

En cuanto a la minería espacial, particularmente, [el autor] menciona dos áreas principales: la minería en asteroides y la minería en la Luna; la primera se considera actualmente en crecimiento debido a la riqueza de minerales y agua que se pueden encontrar en ellos; y la segunda, presenta desafíos adicionales debido a su mayor gravedad, lo que requiere una mayor propulsión y un mayor desembolso económico. Sin embargo, también ofrece ventajas como la facilidad de manipulación de materiales y su proximidad a la Tierra. 1, record 1, Spanish, - miner%C3%ADa%20en%20asteroides
