Asteroid mining is the path to out-of-this-world wealth, says Matt Gialich .

One space rock alone estimated to be worth $ 10,000 quadrillion - enough money to make everyone on Earth a billionaire.

A single asteroid could contain trillions of dollars worth of valuable minerals.

Some asteroids could contain even larger hauls of mineral wealth.

Astroforge was granted an experimental licence from the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) to operate a spaceship beyond two million kilometres ( 1.24 million miles ) from Earth .

This will give the company the legal clearance to stay in communication with Odin as it travels out to meet its asteroid target.

Many have challenged the legal and ethical basis of a company taking ownership of an object in space.
