Asteroidy. Jak miłość, strach i chciwość zadecydują o naszej przyszłości w kosmosie

Martin Elvis

U jednych widok asteroidy wywołuje lęk. Nie bez przyczyny w tradycji i kulturze skały spadające z nieba niosą pożogę i śmierć. Inni myślą za Mendelejewem: węgiel, żelazo, nikiel, krzem. To z tych pierwiastków są zwykle złożone okruchy pozostałe po formowaniu się planet. U Martina Elvisa asteroidy wywołują zupełnie inne emocje. Zdaniem szanowanego astronoma na tych małych ciałach niebieskich ogniskować się będą trzy potężne siły: odwieczna Miłość do rozumienia i poznawania świata, Strach przed anihilacją gatunku ludzkiego oraz Chciwość – chęć wejścia w posiadanie niezmierzonych bogactw. Czy rozmiłowanie w odkrywaniu oraz obawa przed zabójczym uderzeniem asteroid, podsycane żądzą zysku, dadzą początek projektowi kosmicznego górnictwa – biznesu na skalę Układu Słonecznego albo i większą? Dzięki eksploatacji asteroid cywilizacja z ziemskiej przeistoczy się w kosmiczną. „Nauka umożliwi Chciwość, ale jednocześnie Chciwość umożliwi Naukę”– pisze przewrotnie Elvis w swojej książce.
