There's no shortage of metal, that's the point. Open your mind.

  There is an effective shortage of resources since the capacity to mine for them is not infinite, and production cannot meet demands.

    And the metal in space doesn't help us with our current technology. Obviously. "We can't have a metal shortage because there's lots of metal in space" is not the most coherent argument I've heard today...

      What I originally said was there's no metal shortage, only the price of metal. We'll be mining the solar system long before we run out of metal on earth. For aluminum, for instance, there's an insane amount in the Earth's crust.

        Supply and demand informs price. Not the other way around. That's why your argument makes no sense.
