Hey Douglas
Sorry I've been away for a while. My free 30 day trial runs out tomorrow on this site, so I figured I had better get one more post up. Unfortunately, I'm only a fairly poor college student right now and I don't have $125 to spend to become a member, but I'll still be able to check the board, member or not. As I had said earlier, I am working on a project for a college astronomy class on Resource Development of Near Earth Asteroids. Well, this weekend I finally put a webpage up for the project. Here's the URL:
192.211.16.13
Right now its not much, I'm still in the research phase. I've throughly read all of books by John Lewis of the University of Arizona (the leading expert on the topic and also an advisor Spacedev's boad of director's and mentioned quite a few times by Benson on the web site). I've also been extensively researching asteroid (formation theories, composition, ect...)I did, however, publish a rough, yet detailed outline of the project, a bibliography, and short descpritions of the three subtopics. I plan to add a really nice links page to asteroid/mining internet resources and other astronomy related sites in the next week. The full report will be published here in the coming weeks, at the lastest the first week of June, that's when the quarter ends. I'd be happy to here what you think of the site and my progress as I continue. In case I can't get back on the board, my email is brian@nwrain.com
One other interesting thing, Spacedev just put online their current business/mission plan. The 40 page report contains lots of GREAT insite into what they're currently doing and planning. The 40 page word document can be downloaded in Zip format here:

Douglas, have you come across any info or insite on the topic,lately?
Or better yet, do you have any predictions on when this stock will start to rise and how high it could get on just the hype of the first mission?
Brian
