The article states:
"Whether Deep Space Industries would be competing in similar services as Planetary Resources has also been questioned. In particular, Planetary Resources has wealthy and influential sponsors such as Eric Schmidt and Larry Page and has not released information on their intentions for processing, power generation, or in-space manufacturing hardware and equipment."
This is not true. At a "solve for x" conference, both Peter Diamandis and Eric Anderson spoke at length on this issue. The link to the presentation can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVzR0kzklRE In the presentation they state that photovoltaic cells will be used for power, that asteroids will be heated to cook off all volatile elements to leave the Platinum class elements as ore, that they would process the platinum class of materials by direct heating of them into shapes like "wiffle balls", and will be de-orbited by free fall to a desert site and that they will not require on-orbit metallurgy or processing other than the heating stated.
Various information about Planetary Resources has been removed. It belongs on that company's profile, not here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.167.72.11 ( talk) 00:16, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Does anyone know the actual location of Deep Space Industries? It may be that they don't have one, of course; it is now possible to run a completely decentralized company -- at least until you have a factory -- but I would imagine that they must have a mailing address, even if it is just a PO box. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 12:06, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Their website now says "Deep Space Industries Corporate Headquarters, P.O. Box 67, Moffett Field, CA 94035, United States of America" [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.167.72.11 ( talk) 00:14, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
seems the UN already has some treaties about outer space. the true property interests of this space business, if any, are not clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.84.95.229 ( talk • contribs) 01:38, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Here are a set of links to both space press and mainstream press with reaction after the public announcement of Deep Space Industries:

This appears in the intro, but nowhere else in the article. The rest of the article is still written as if DSI was a going concern. -- PaulxSA ( talk) 07:06, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
