Wow, gotta love how this article just hand-waives away the completely legitimate concerns/criticisms that this is nothing more than a way to stroke billionaire's egos. Talking about moving mining to space/asteroids is supposed to be a noble goal? The tone deafness is astounding. A billionaire went into space (and the launchpad bill was footed by taxpayers who will probably never see space) and we are supposed to cheer this on? I think not.
