What may asteroids contain?
What asteroids contain may depend on their type.
Scientists cannot always tell what is in a type of asteroid, so some remain unknown.
S-Type asteroids will most likely contain Iron, Nickel, and Magnesium.
M-Type asteroids can contain Nickel and Iron.
P-Type asteroids most likely contain ice inside of them.
Other than Nickel, Iron, and Magnesium, scientists think asteroids can also contain
water, Oxygen, Gold, and Platinum. Scientists think that because the asteroids
can contain these things, space colonies will most likely be able to survive.
Breaking down water gives us Hydrogen and Oxygen which is used as fuel
in most space crafts.
The Oxygen can also be used to fill Oxygen tanks.
