Placing asteroid mining in the farthest category seems a bit misplaced to me. If even politicians started to lay down law for space ownership, it can't be that uncertain or far fetched.
- jeffreyrogers 8y agoIt doesn't seem economical in any reasonable time frame given the relative cheapness of mining what's already on earth.
