All in due time. It will be mind numbing to the nth degree when profits are made. The potential for fees and regulation are as limitless as the greed based hallucinations that currently strip us of our ability, our will, to produce on an entrepreneurial level no matter how basic.

The problem is that supply and demand must equalize. I would think that the arrival of more platinum that has ever been mined would instantly depress the price on the open market. Michael Farmer Sent from my iPhone On Apr 6, 2013, at 12:56 AM, bill kies parkforest...@hotmail.com wrote: All

Hi Folks, The money always grabs the headlines, but there is great potential for asteroid mining once we establish an infrastructure to support routine interplanetary travel. Until such a time, it's all pipe dreams. The best we can hope for now are small, unmanned, sample return missions.

The 2010 stat is not cumulative.  It's the total platinum mine production just for 2010. Platinum is just the tip of the Iceber asteroid.  There are even greater amount of other metals contained in that 30m asteroid.  The question is if they can stay in business when prices are depressed.

One quaint question for the astronomy buffs and mathematicians out there. What affect would the increase in mass to the earth, from mining most of the asteroids, and then mining, say 5% our moon, (or another planet's moon) and adding that mass to earth, have on the earth's orbit, rotation,
