Asteroids could make you rich one day: Scientists uncover the hidden wealth floating through space

Recent research suggests that small, carbon-rich asteroids could be invaluable economic and scientific resources, offering water, organic materials, and precious minerals for space missions. These primitive bodies, acting as time capsules, hold the key to fueling future exploration and reducing Earth's resource dependency, despite current technical challenges in large-scale mining.
