Is it just the rockets? Maybe the rockets are enough, maybe not, but is any of the rest plausible enough to bet on, or is it essentially fog?
I forget who said it, but some Carl Sagan type science communicator/futurist predicted that whoever mines the first asteroid will be Earth's first trillionaire.
You know what, a quick google later, and it was Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Make of that what you will.
RE: Google, whatever shine they used to have that they were a smart company full of smart people doing smart things is gone for me. The first cracks were when they ham fistedly censored their search algorithm to remove results for "gun" in their marketplace after one mass shooting or another. And then suddenly nobody could find gundam model kits anymore. That was probably 10+ years ago now, and I can't recall the last "smart" thing Google did. Maybe when their AI beat a Go champion? Since then it's just one public embarrassment after another, and their clown world AI training is just the most politically salient cherry on top of a company that seems to be at total war with competence.
