The real benefit is that the platinim can be used for catalysts, which has a huge variety of applications. Gold and platinum are also highly bio compatible, meaning implants would beecome far cheaper. Nickel is used for batteries, which would make both electric vehicles cheaper, and make electricity cheaper by storing energy from renewables.

The Outer Space Treaty has some nice loopholes. Put there on purpose no doubt.
Have a look at the equator and all the countries thereon. Some of them would make for very nice Spaceports and launch complexes when promised a steady flow of precious and industrial metals in return.

The joke is about making the price of pms absurd by hording and making vaults not being able to pay back all the futures contracts. It is a very long gif but funny as hell. I do not have it saved and a janny would delete it for the full explanation of how Doc's plan works. It can only be discussed in full at /biz/.

Asteroid mining would do the opposite by flooding the market and make all those futures holders loose value but it would restock Comex. However it ends speculation gambling on metals. Even if it gets the main perpetrator off the hook. They enabled this by printing more futures contracts than they have PMs for.
>>
>>533425796
Regular mines run out and cause a lot of pollution. They also get harder and harder to mine the deeper you go. Unlike an Earth mine, the metals in an asteroid are more evenly distributed, and you can build your structure as big as you ant, since there's no gravity.

Maintly through reflectance spectroscopy. You can check what specific wavelengths of light are reflected or scattered by a material. It's the same technique they use in hospitals to check blood oxygen levels, look for tumors, and shit like that. Lots of uses.

They also study meteorites which have landed on Earth, and there have been two missions to collect samples from asteroids, OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa2.

Why would they? It's not like 100% of even a majority of jew or jew-lite assets are in gold sourcing.

Making precious metals worthless tanks random shithole third world countries that export those metals and chinese companies. Jew money comes from market exploitation, shifting margins and upset just feeds into their scheme. Material costs for production go down and suddenly electronics are cheaper and they make money selling dumb jew software that commoditizes personal information or whatever.

Gold is heavy as fuck. It takes tons of fuel to move anything back to Earth. It costs thousands of dollars to put a single pound of cargo into orbit. The cost of even getting enough fuel to the asteroid to move the gold back to Earth exceeds the value of the gold. It is easier and cheaper to just mine it on Earth.

>>
>>533426899
It's an oversimplification, but they are used to extract the co2 from the material which actually captures it. It also turns co2 back into fuel. If platinum were no longer an issue, the systems would be much cheaper, which would result in cheaper, cleaner energy and industry.

This is how you have to explain things to NPCs and to children, because they can't actually understand things and just listen to authority. The more you try to explain, the more they will think you're making excuses or coping.

It's artificial, you mook. You could have Star Trek style replicators that can make anything just by being powered and they'd make profit on the rate limiting of power. You could have that AND unlimited power and they'd make profit on artificially limiting premium "pattern" access for the replication. It's just the AI argument. Retards think automation = utopia where everything is freely available, while they are paying more than ever for food, a thing whose associated production industries feature some of the most automation of any sector.

Valid points, one and all.
It's a question of time and procedure. You seem to be assuming ship goes from earth's surface to the rock, loads up, then returns to the surface.

Why bother to do that? Once up your interplanetary merchant marine ship flys a Aldrin Cyclical orbit from the rock and back and does transfers in orbit.

Or maybe life is almost impossibly rare. What if we are that 1 in a trillion billion chance? Earth seems to be an exceptionally rare and special place.
>We are in the quiet outer edge of a mundane galaxy, like the quiet suburbs
>Our sun is an especially mundane, mild, stable, and relatively small star
>Earth is in the very narrow orbit distance from the sun where water isn't boiled off from being too hot like Venus and so cold it is only ice like on Mars
>We have a ridiculous amount of water. Water has one of the highest specific heats of any compound meaning or resists temperature changes and stabilizes our climate

Earth has been high axial tilt which spreads solar radiation across the surface keeping the equator from being super hot and the higher latitudes from being super cold
>The moon is the largest moon known in comparison to the body it is orbiting. This creates tides (life might have started in tidal pools). The Moon also acts as a shield and soaks up asteroid impacts for us.
The list goes on. You can argue God did it, or that it is all coincidence. But there is no denying that Earth is a very special place and almost impossibly rare when we look at the universe.

Unfortunately under capitalism the massive increase in available gold would just tank its value, disincentivising ever harvesting the asteroid. Under national socialism, the asteroid would be collected and you could have all the obvious medical/technological benefits for your society, but probably even shit like gold water pipes etc, any application where you would need the nonreactivity even in everyday scenarios.

Assuming everything else comes out in the wash gold, platinum, and whatever else is up there would become as valuable as zinc or bauxite. A incredible boon for tech and industry.
It would take a lot of time, though. The disruption could be managed by the timing of the return missions, manipulated - if you will.
Every currency on earth would be at risk, as that currency could and would be replaced by money.
