Lithium is not rare at all
The best contender for space mining is actually iridium (more than other platinum group metals for that matter)
because how inert and heavy it is, pretty much all of it sunk to the core, so Earth crust has no iridium whatsoever.
the "ore" we use are actually chunks of asteroids that hit the earth.
a single gram costs $154 right now and it's also the 2nd densest metal, which means you could easily fit the entire current global supply in a single return capsule
for the reference, the annual production is 7500 kg (yes, you've read that correctly - seven thousand five hundred KILOS)

It's absolutely essential for making LEDs, which is driving the price up, for years, with no change of trend in sight.

One of the main ways of the immune system to deal with infected or damaged cells is to induce apoptosis (make them commit sudoku). Neurons are to important to lose them like that and they regenerate very badly and slowly. Therefore they got shut off as good as possible from the circulatory and immune system and the defence is to just not let things get to the neurons.
If you install an invasive implant like this, you are asking for infections sooner or later, that will most likely be fatal.

Reminder that the ancient chinese had expeditions to other continents, but due to court intrigue, all of the expeditions were stopped and they put a law into place that artificially limited their ships below a certain size so nobody else could either.
Reminder that despite inventing gunpowder, they mostly only used it for fireworks: the state of chinese firearms was limited to bamboo sticks and jugs full of gunpowder for hundreds of years.
Reminder that the ancient greeks invented steam power and used it to open doors and to as a cool trick, but it never caught on for anything practical and was forgotten.

There's a KSP mod, older mod but may still work in newer versions, that has EXACTLY that. I'll have to dig through my old files to see if I can re-find it.
