This document discusses alternative proposals to mining Earth by instead mining resources from the moon, asteroids, and oceans. It suggests that mining these extra-terrestrial sources could provide fuel for space missions and be less expensive and destructive than terrestrial mining. Specifically, it outlines plans by companies like Moon Express and Planetary Resources to mine the moon and asteroids using robots to gather resources, with NASA planning to start moon mining programs in 2014.
