The best know method I've heard to capture resources with enormous rewards to figure a
method to capture the metals directly from the Earth's oceans. A viable technology that is
not here yet. Maybe within the next 50 years. Innovation has a way of turning things
upside down. At the same time just staying on Earth cause that's where we have been all
these years and why go elsewhere is like not bothering to prepare for a coming hurricane.
An asteroid/comet will likely hit the Earth if we don't get prepared. To do so correctly, one
must make a presence in space. The logistics require it.
