As we develop and industrialize space, many, of all skills, will work up here.  In this podcast we will focus on two areas:  Space Medicines and Mining Asteroids.  There will be many advances in both fields, with techniques we've never even dreamed of until quite recently, when we examined near zero gravity and its effects on the human body, and how we have to counter it, in ourselves and our labors.  There will also be many advantages to this.
Don't get the idea that all this will be for professionals, for many backup skills will be required:  salvaging space debris, processing metals,  doctors, nurses, and assistants in the medical field, and skills not mentioned.  Here, we want you to think.
