There's also the consequence of flooding the Earth with cheap gold and platinum.
@Joey, very intersting article. I think you have really scared all the gold/silver investor with your blog. Its already nearly 100$ down :) since the day your wrote this blog.
@Heinrich,
I think you are onto something. Clearly this is a project for Google with its extra billions in cash!

Scott, your comments remind me the joke about George in one episode of Jerry Seinfeld": George, the Ocean called, they are running out of shrimp!

The article and the discussion gave my an un-settling feeling. We human beings already consumed so much natural resources on earth, now some genius started to invest and develop to suck more natural resources from space. Good or bad? Really hard to say, but not a easy feeling.
P.S. what if somebody can figure out how to farm shrimp on asteroids? Then we are getting somewhere...
If you read the book Four Fishes you will see that aquaculture is very important to the future! The world is running out of fish to feed people...

Well, whatever we want to call our IU stream of consciousness, I love it @Noreen! I always feel smarter or as if my POV has broadened with I'm here on the site.
Without IU, I would have missed shrimp farming, valuable rogue asteroids, the perils of footie pajamas...and your wing walker parachute story...and that's just THIS month!
Viva IU!
The minds of the people on this site are both expansive and insightful, not to mention a little quirky,

I always love it when I come late to a conversation thread because these discussions take the most AMAZING turns, in this case from rare metals to shrimp farming. The power of our collective minds is incredible...or NOT!
Back to the asteroids for a second...I'm thinking really, really big nets, or maybe just pull them in with a supersize magnet!
Seriously though, I think when the technology for retrieving space junk matures a bit, that will form the basis for asteroid capture as well. And both sound like decidedly NON-shrimpy markets!
