* '''Asteroid Mining''' — "The Extraction" of "Raw Materials" (Metals, Water, Minerals) from "Asteroids" for "Use" in "Space" or "Return" to "Earth."
* '''C-Type Asteroids''' — "Carbonaceous Asteroids": "Rich" in "Organic Compounds," "Hydrated Minerals," and **"Water Ice"** — "Critical" for "Propellant" and "Life Support" in "Space."
* '''M-Type Asteroids''' — "Metallic Asteroids": "Rich" in "Iron," "Nickel," and **"Platinum-Group Metals"** (PGMs: Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium).
* '''Water as Propellant''' — "Water" can be "Electrolyzed" into "Hydrogen" and "Oxygen" for "Rocket Propellant": **"The Gas Station"** of "The Solar System."
* '''Psyche''' (16 Psyche) — "A Metallic Asteroid" "Containing" an "Estimated" **"$10 Quintillion"** of "Iron" and "Nickel" (NASA Mission launched 2023).
* '''Planetary Resources / Deep Space Industries''' — "Pioneer" "Space Mining Companies" (both "Acquired" or "Dissolved"): "Proved Market Interest" but "Showed" "Immense Capital Requirements."
* '''Space Resources Act''' (US, 2015) — "A Law" "Granting" "US Companies" **"Property Rights"** over "Extracted Space Resources" (but "Not Territorial Sovereignty").
* '''ISRU''' — (In-Situ Resource Utilization, see Article 717). "Using" "Resources Found" in "Space" to "Avoid Costly Launches": "The Economic Backbone" of "Space Civilization."
* '''The Commodity Crash Risk''' — "The Economic Danger" that "Returning" "Vast Quantities" of "Platinum" from "Asteroids" to "Earth" "Would Collapse" "Terrestrial" "Platinum Markets."
* '''Near-Earth Asteroid''' (NEA) — (See Article 721). "The Most Economically Accessible" "Asteroids" due to "Low Delta-v" (Fuel Cost) to "Reach Them."
