Larry Page, Google CEO, along Sergy Brin and Exec Chairman Eric Schmidt have backed a space venture, which is tipped to be lurking for asteroids and other natural resources. <\/p>\n

Microsoft’s Charles Simonyi and Ross Perot, Jr are also in on the venture which will examine the earth’s resource base. <\/p>\n

The start up ‘Planetary Resources’, announced yesterday, will examine “two critical sectors – space exploration and natural resources – to add trillions of dollars to the global GDP. <\/p>\n

“This innovative start-up will create a new industry and a new definition of ‘natural resources’,” according to a statement. <\/p>\n

According to the Wall Street Journal, Planetary Resources will explore the feasibility of mining natural resources from asteroids. <\/p>\n

The multi million dollar exploration venture also includes space entrepreneur Eric Anderson; former NASA mission manager Chris Lewicki and astronaut Tom Jones, Peter H. Diamandis will lead the commercial space venture “with a mission to help ensure humanity’s prosperity.”<\/p>\n

Planetary Resources will create a new industry and a new definition of ‘natural resources’, it says, although was scant on precise detail, reckons it will save humanity. <\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

All will be revealed at a news conference scheduled for tomorrow Tuesday, April 24 at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, however:<\/p>\n

“Join us to learn about our mission and how we plan to revolutionize current space exploration and help ensure humanity’s prosperity for generations to come.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
