The Final Frontier for Energy Giants

The video discusses the emerging field of space mining, highlighting initiatives by countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Companies are planning to launch satellites to explore asteroids for valuable resources such as platinum and water. Experts predict that within five years, commercial satellites will probe asteroids, and within eight years, resource extraction may begin. Platinum is a key target due to its value, but water is seen as the most crucial resource for its potential use as a propellant in space missions.
