Another one of my interest is NASA.
Like to look at what's happening their. The mission on mars is called "curiosity".
Well they sent a penny to mars on that mission. Use the penny to calibrate/ focus camera is how I understand it..

You won't have to wait a thousand years. We'll be there in less than 25. Mission is already planned and money is the only real problem. Did you know that a company has already formed to build ore carriers at the space station and then transport whatever is discovered back to earth before the century is out? Some heavy hitters are involved with this. It just takes money.

Wonder how things will be in say a hundred years.

I am sorry Earth is off limits to Metal Detectors.
