Private Asteroid Miners launching their first space telescope. FUTURO++

ASTEROID MINING Could Be Against The Law. OH LET US HAVE FUN.
Shit. Shit, shit, shit. Here we go again with The Man preventing us from having any fun. Did you know that there are experts in space law (pretty awesome, actually)? I didn’t. Now one of these astronomical legalese masters is stating that asteroid mining could be against the law.
