I was just thinking, if and when gold is recovered, it ought to sell for multiples of what "terrestrial" gold sells for, simply because it will be a collector's item. Then it occurred to me - gold is gold, is it not? What's to prevent unscrupulous people from marketing "space gold" that came from, say, Colorado?

I’d still like to know what became of the artificial diamonds that are impossible to distinguish from real ones.
That news item came and went in a hurry.

Funny. If somebody succeeds in bring in tons of space gold, the overall price per ounce will drop.
I guess that the good news would be that everybody could own lots of it.
The bad news is that you still can’t eat it.

Impurities which distinguish terrestrial gold from extraterrestrial gold. The value of gold in space will be its utility in manufacturing electronics and other components useful in space, such as gold foils. The most important material to be used is water-ice. It is needed for breathable oxygen, carbon dioxide, oxygen and hydrogen for rocket fuels, water-based solvents, and a vast list of other applications.

Still don’t see how this pases the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which unambigiuosly states that whatever is found is the property of everyone.

Thanks to a new US law that legalizes cosmic mining. OMG I had know idea that cosmic mining was illegal.
The only explanation is that Obama must have signed an executive order proclaiming himself Master of the Universe.
