I’m sure there are a few hurdles, but wondering what is the biggest reason that keeps us back at this moment as the most pressing thing. Is it that the technology just isn’t there yet? Or is it because of legal complications, international treaties and all that? Is it just not financially feasible to do at this present time with the technology we do have? That we could do it, in theory, but the ROI is too low?
You have to understand, as an environment space will kill you and everyone with you.
This isn’t like mining underground or underwater where if you screw up, you die. In space you have to do EVERYTHING right or you die.
Unless we find an asteroid of pure gold/platinum/diamond the risk/reward ratio is too damn high.
