Title: Costing and Financing a Commercial Asteroid Mining Venture
Summary / Review : Abstract: "...This paper intends to provide a realistic assessment of the financing of a commercial asteroid mining venture, including the financing of its costs and an analysis of expected returns. In particular, it considers the availability and expected costs of obtaining finance and the economic returns on the investment, taking into account the likely impact of such a venture on the price of the commodities being mined from the asteroid. The paper then concludes with a suggested structure for the mining mission, taking into account technical feasibilities that would produce the best commercial outcome in the near future."
