Is James Cameron launching an asteroid mining company? By Eric Pfeiffer A new company called Planetary Resources held its official launch today promising a new venture that would merge "space exploration and natural resources," while adding "trillions" of dollars to the global GDP. The company counts some heavy-hitters amongst its founders and financial backers, including filmmaker/explorer James Cameron, Google co-founders Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, Ross Perot Jr. Charles Simonyi, formerly of Microsoft. The group's somewhat vague press release has the site Technology Review thinking the new company's goal "sounds like asteroid mining." Planetary Resources announced its launch on Tuesday morning at an event held at the Charles Simonyi Space Gallery at The Museum of Flight in Seattle. And while they have set up several online destinations for the company, including Facebook and Twitter pages, no more specific information has been revealed to the public.
