—having been in the terrestrial mining business through the
“oil shock” and always having had to be aware of “energy” costs vis-a vis tires, explosives, fuel, etc’, , I can only suggest that one does not buy stock in “asteroid mining “ ventures—transportation costs will eat you up—
I doubt very seriously that ‘asteroid mining’ will ever become an profitable venture. Even if they were to find an asteroid of solid gold, it would be too expensive to get there, and then get it home...............
