From there, we talk about what we will need to be able to find and mine the richest, most accessible asteroids.

  1. Question - (case 1) I travel to an asteroid of 100 meters in size. I start extracting materials from the "equatorial" zone. Is the material mine? (case 2) is the asteroid mine? (case 3) I move the asteroid, and now someone else lands on the other side and starts harvesting it. Is that "illegal" ? How much does the asteroid to be moved to be claimable? One meter?

    1. Those are good questions, we should get them answered. I (Paul Carr) have some questions myself along the same lines. Thanks for your comment.
