Branson Joins Planetary Resources

Sir Richard Branson, chairman of the Virgin Group and the power behind Virgin Galactic, has joined the core group of investors of Planetary Resources, the company planning to mine asteroids for water and other natural resources.

Branson is the latest billionaire to get involved with PR, which plans to launch its first asteroid hunting mission next year.  With luck, those billionaires will help lead humanity into a new economic era of plenty.
