Is space mining the next big geopolitical hotspot?

[redvelvetjoy]

This might sound like sci-fi, but hear me out: space mining! With private companies and countries eyeing asteroids for rare minerals, could we see new alliances—or even conflicts—form over who gets the best "space real estate"? Do we even have rules for this stuff, or is it still the wild west up there? Thoughts, anyone?

Totally sounds like sci-fi, but it’s becoming real! With big players like private companies and governments eyeing space resources, it could definitely spark some major competition—or even conflicts. As for rules, it’s still kinda the wild west up there! No clear regulations yet, but it’s definitely something to watch.
