As with any mining outfit on Earth.
Investors will need to be found to invest in any type of mining.
The problem(s) with mining anything on Earth are:
(I'm no expert just taking wild guesses here).
1. Most of the "best and obvious locations" have been mined to death or are taken for years with 100 year contracts whether it is gold,platinum,nickel, copper.
2. issues with pollution created via mining and refining. Going to have issues with EPA or their equivalents in other countries.
3. cost of shipping and storing raw materials. (proper re-entry into Earth's atmosphere and Gravity will do the rest. The only problem would be going to Space with empty cargo ships. I think "boxes" will probably be made in space using panels.)
4. refining.
5. finding cheap labor. (If AI and Robots will be available. Problem solved in space).
I think mining in space is just an obvious future.
Just give the Syfy show Expanse a try and you'll get it.
But I do think that the valuable elements like Gold and Platinum will "remain" in space as a store of value on other planets when we colonize.
I've read that the mined gold and platinum and even diamonds can't be brought back to Earth as it would devalue Earth Gold and platinum and Diamonds etc etc. The current holders of these wealth producing elements are not going to like their wealth to be devalued.
The more you have of something. The less valuable it becomes.
the other resources are a different issue like nickel and copper. Just my guess.
Helium 3 on the moon is a another story also.
Helium 3 is abundant on the Moon's surface. Probably why the Moon rocks that were brought back from space ended up disappearing.
Helium 3 is a possible clean fuel for fusion reactors.
I personally think if we ever do mine Helium 3 on the Moon.
That should be brought back to Earth to power our fusion reactors along with Thorium as another option.
and the dangerous radioactive Uranium, Cessium, Polonium, Plutonium and other nuclear material should be used by space craft in outerspace as a backup in case Solar is unavailable.
"The idea of harvesting a clean and efficient form of energy from the Moon has stimulated science fiction and fact in recent decades. Unlike Earth, which is protected by its magnetic field, the Moon has been bombarded with large quantities of Helium-3 by the solar wind. It is thought that this isotope could provide safer nuclear energy in a fusion reactor, since it is not radioactive and would not produce dangerous waste products."
And I'll throw this one into the mix.
Bitcoin Mining in Space.
Free solar power.
Plus the main issue with mining bitcoin is keeping equipment cool. It always overheats for good reason. This is why the best bitcoin mining setups are those located in cold areas with access to renewal energy like ones near dams or geothermal energy like Iceland.
Siberia too. Bitcoin Mining outfits there benefit from the cold temps but also from the rich source of hydrogen gas of which Russia accounts for 48% of the world's supply.
Russia is basically the Saudi Arabia of Hydrogen gas.
So In the vacuum of space? Everything is cooled for free.
Try sticking your head out a space craft. see what happens! lol
It's exciting to think about the future. Even though I'll probably be dead before any of this actually ever happens. It is amazing to see how far we have come as a species in the past 100 years.
Think back to the year 1920. now imagine the year 2120?
I hope they bring back Elvis! lol
