How close are we to have asteroid mining? Will it affect the value of gold forever?

>> No.24695869

We're likely not close within even 2 -4 generations.

Gold's fine in your lifetime and your grandkids for sure, likely far beyond that for many hundreds of years.

probably around 2100 ish.
and then it will be CRAZY expensive to mine gold from space.
laws of thermodynamic cant be more efficient than 100 percent.

we don't need to mine asteroids in space
we crash asteroids into africa then mine them there

>> No.24696481

this is a great plan for a few different reasons

1) it will kill all the african niggers in the immediate area
2) it will kill even more african niggers through slave labor mining for gold and metals that will be sent off to the USA and China to be turned into devices for teenage girls to take naked selfies with
3) niggers will flood into europe, and rape and behead all the faggy socialists
4) once europe is full of niggers we can just drop asteroids onto it also, and repeat from step 1

Zero downsides

the first trip would be profitable, but it would mark the beginning of the end for gold.
except for goldtards, they will hold to zero, which is where its headed.

it's considered too expensive to mine gold from the ocean, what makes people think asteroid mining will be worthwhile?

Think about it, the ocean floor is 2/3 of the worlds surface, there must be undiscovered gold fields larger than anything ever discovered down there but no one is trying to mine them because it's not worth it.

Now consider the costs of designing and building asteroid mining robots, launching them into space, sending them on years long missions, the difficulty of processing ore in space and getting it back to Earth.

It's not gonna happen within the next 100 years at minimum.

Dude, there's a lot of sensitive wildlife down there, you can't just crash an asteroid into Africa. Plus the terrain is shit for any kind of industry and it's infested with monsters. Crash it onto the moon, mine it there, then send gold ingots back to earth and use the other metals to build more spaceships.

I like cheetahs and lions, sue me. Africa should be walled off as a nature preserve and all human and subhuman life removed from the continent.
