Soon your president would announce a plan for a mission to Ceres for for for mining Cereals Before the Chinese will do so. "...I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on Ceres and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important in the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. We choose to go to Ceres in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are CRISPY!"
