@gordon1201  those rocks are important,if we want to build space settlements,we have to use resources from outside the earth,its the only practical way,the first step is finding out what is out there we can use and the appropriate regions to get them,in other words prospecting.

@gordon1201 missing the point, it would be a huge accomplishment. we could use those resources in countless ways to improve our lives,build new technology.
