True, considering the natural resources it will take for the project.
There is no such thing as clean asteroid mining!

Just for the sake of argument: Say they go to an asteroid and mine some ore, say several tons.
How do you get back on earth without it crashing like an asteroid? Do we make orbiting smelters? details....... details Asteroid Mining Operation?

I mentioned in the last few days that I was thinking about flying to view the eclipse. Chuck is unable to go, so I have some seats available - 2 of them. Anyone here interested? I'll most likely land at Beryl Junction - right on the center line. The plan is to leave early afternoon Sunday and return shortly after dark that evening. No hotel required, easy access, no traffic jams, uncrowded area. If one other person (besides me) goes the cost would be about $170.00 If two others go the cost would be about $110.00 per person. I have limited room, but something the size of a C8 would work. I plan on taking only my camera and a tripod.
