There's also supposed to be a lot of platinum and things near it in the periodic table, which are all very important catalysts. I think the person who wrote this article is massively underestimating technological effect of making a part of the periodic table more affordable for scientists to play with.
- Retra 7y agoMaking it more abundant doesn't necessarily make it more affordable. You need the costs of extraction to be low, because if you want platinum, you can recycle and mine it here, it is just expensive. So the question is only whether it is more expensive to do it here or on an asteroid.
