Planetary Resources, Inc.

A new company with a big goal is to be announced this week.  The company, to be called Planetary Resources, will attempt to make its money by leading the way to extend the human economy into space, using extraterrestrial resources to expand that economy.

Founders of PR include Peter Diamandis, of X-Prize Foundation fame, Eric Anderson, CEO of Space Adventures, and filmmaker James Cameron.  Other initial investors include Larry Page and Eric Schmidt of Google and Charles Simonyi. software developer and space tourist.

With that group backing the effort, learning exactly what PR will try to do will be interesting.
