Future large scale commercial activities in space will require raw materials obtained from in-space sources rather than from Earth‚ to overcome the high cost of Earth launch. This paper reviews the prospectiveness of non-terrestrial resources and notes the competitiveness of Near-Earth-Asteroids c.f. the Moon and Phobos or Deimos in terms of accessibility and likely resources. Astronomical work over the last fifteen years has increased the number of known Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) from about 30

The X-craft would then be detached and infiltrate the target‚ laying down two side charges‚ each containing 2 tonnes of amatol. They would then make their escape and rendezvous with the “mother” submarine to be towed home. The first attack was launched against the German battleship Bismarck. Six X-craft were designated for the operation‚ but two were lost to accidents en route‚ and a third suffered mechanical problems
