Christopher Dreyer - Space Resources Program at the Colorado School of Mines - CSP S02E22

Listen Later

Dr. Christopher Dreyer is the Associate Director of Engineering and co-creator of the Center for Space Resources at Colorado School of Mines. The School offers an exciting Space Resources Program and Dr. Dreyer has played an integral role in developing it. Chris meets with Cold Star Project host Jason Kanigan to discuss the Program.  


We cover:  

  • how Chris got involved with the idea of asteroid mining  
  • the way one creates a curriculum for something that hasn't existed before  - why the School decided to go with an online program format instead of in-class
  •  exactly what is taught in a course Dr. Dreyer developed for the program, such as Space Resources Fundamentals  
  • what if any relevance Earth-based capabilities and experience the Colorado School of Mines developed has for asteroid mining 
  • technologies available and being developed to prospect for and process resources in space  
  • how close or far away Dr. Dreyer believes we are to actual asteroid mining.  


    • One of the first things I noticed on Dr. Dreyer's LinkedIn profile was a recommendation from Dr. Joel Sercel, also a guest on this show. Dr. Sercel's Momentus firm and Dr. Dreyer's School do have a relationship and we discuss that in this episode.
