Mining Asteroids, the New Frontier
Miles and miles above our heads,
millions of them, I believe it's said,
way up in the skies, past the moon and stars,
somewhere near Jupiter and nearby Mars,
space rocks, called asteroids,
are hot topics these days.
We'll be "mining the skies," for silver and gold,
and other precious metals, like titanium, I'm told.
During the gold rush days,
remember the stories of the old West?
"There's gold in them thar hills!"
Now the "Gold Rush" is out in space!
And the prize is worth the race.
Space stations are being planned,
the size of Texas, they say.
And machines, like snow blower's,
will suck up the space treasures
of near-earth asteroids,
if the aviator's have their way.
Heaven has gates of pearl and streets of gold
and other treasures we'll someday behold.
But exploring the heavens, we'll continue to do,
because God's riches of creation, are never ending to be found.
And God doesn't make junk. His treasures abound.
