<p>[QUOTE="lawdogct, post: 51256, member: 1476"]I don't doubt the human race, but I think myself, and some of the "older" guys have a better grasp of human nature. Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING is tied to money. Why don't we have hover cars? Why don't we have high quality universal health care? Why is our coinage getting worse and worse in quality? Why? Money. If the cost exceeds the gain, it will never happen. Scientist can already prove astroids contain precious medals so what's the point of getting even a sample, let alone mining it. Your first ounce of gold will end up costing you $500 million, if not $1 billion or more. For that kind of money, I can get tons of gold right here on good old earth.</p><p><br /></p><p>To add to my point, think about this, if it was worth it, we'd have been mining the moon 40 years ago...which is much easier/cheaper to reach than astroids or comets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
