What happened to these guys? They launched an asteroid mining technology demonstrator back in June and never said anything about the results if the tech worked. They are supposed to launch a deep space mission to an asteroid this month or next month piggybacking off some other lunar lander but nothing but radio silence.

What’s going on?

Fun fact, astroforge is launching an asteroid mining technology demonstrator mission Tom a Falcon 9 this month, and another mission later in the fall.

They are the first companies truly working towards making asteroid mining a reality, and as out there their goals are, it’s a huge step for the commercial space economy

Reminder that Astroforge is launching its first mission on Tuesday, in its quest to mine asteroids on the moon
