"Space Dev's business plan is ultimately to mine the asteroids."

It would seem that mining on the moon would be easier to conduct because of the distances involved - unless there is some issue of ownership or lack of profitable minerals near the surface.

Asteroid mining can be profitable right now. Moon mining won't be profitable for a long time to come. It's in the economics rather than in the tech. Everyone is asking how to mine asteroids or the moon, not the appropriate question: how to make a dollar mining asteroids.
