05. Do we have to mine for the resources, or are they on the surface of the Moon or the planets? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

We will have to mine the resources whether they are on the surface or subsurface. Mining is defined as either digging or excavating in order to access ores or metals. It can also be described as processing to obtain a natural constituent, such as mining the air for nitrogen. Since it is so expensive to move resources to space from Earth, we will need to mine whatever resources are available in space.
