Space Miners Will Bring "Trillions of Dollars" to Earth

There are relatively “easy” ways to do it.
Off the top of my head: putting the payload into low orbit fitted with a simple glider, or a parachute + a couple small boosters and controller to guide it, same as they landed space capsules. Or simply launch it down at your landing site after outfitting it with some ablative shield made out of waste material (chunk of asteroid) which will burn up on re-entry leaving the payload mostly intact, just collect it from the crash site. I suppose ideally they’d make a space elevator, but that’s currently still in the scifi realm, can’t make carbon nanotube trusses of any length yet.

BTW, that cute little collage they made for the article with a tiny piece of meteorite as an asteroid is hilarious :rofl
