SpaceX is close to being able to extract resources from space. Will this not cause all Earth mining companies to go bust?A single asteroid could double our gold reserves. Is this not very bad for precious metals and copper?
>>62276274Kek, the kumar shill....
>>62276274If humans become multiplanetary, then the market expands to other planets and Earth mining companies are not enough.
>>62276274Imagine how expensive metals will be when asteroid mining is cost effective
>>62276274spacex is close to extracting resources from millions of retail retards
>>62276374These fucking goys will believe everything.
>>62276274Its monster bullish for Bitcoin, I tell you that much for free.
>>62276274Why would it cause earth mining companies to go bust?The tech stack is different but not that different.
>>62276274lmao, that looks so fake and gay. Looks exactly like the "inventions" i made when i was a child, where i attached nonsense stuff to ugly shit i drew. A fucking balloon to defend it from asteroids? KEK. Concentrate light with mirrors and glass to melt the meteorite? hahahahha.
>>62279288>Looks exactly like the "inventions" i made when i was a child, where i attached nonsense stuff to ugly shit i drewYou have to give it to them, quite an original idea to put a condom over the space rock and then use free energy to vaporize and condense minerals selectively and completely.This is very difficult to do, as other debris will be poking holes in your condom, light exposure, solar wind exposure, magnetic field exposure, cosmic radio, relativistic particles and other things will make hell inside from shifting electrical charges, actual lightning storms style, if not glowing keeping the plasma glowing or just igniting it randomly.
>>62279456I like the inflatables idea I haven't thought that much about that and asteroid mining but this is way beyond any scale that space agencies have. they need to have a new commercial station and especially a moon station. it's all feasible.
>>62279497Sure buddy
>>62276274this may shock you, but you haven't been told the truth about space metalsyes, there's huge amounts of metal in space, but on earth the metals are concentrated in extremely rich deposits by magma, water, and crystalization. Because of this the average earth mine is going to be much richer per pound than space rocks. basically if we want to double earth stocks of gold or platinum, we have to mine a quantity of asteroids nearly the size of the earth. It's not just solid metal up there. Down here it often is solid metal, just not as much of it.
>>62276274asteroid mining is at least 50 years away.
>>62279288You'd probably say the same if I found and showed you a solid infographic of how MRIs work.
>>62282908>Because of this the average earth mine is going to be much richer per pound than space rocks.All the heavy metals, 13g/cm, are concentrate in the core. The crust has 2-3g/cm. Sure, the asteroids are not all heavy metals, but it costs the same to pick up, asteroids are not tightly packed, their shape is a temporary situation and can be stripped to the core easily.
