The neutron star theory is neither hokey nor a method of mining. But up-front capital costs to mine asteroid would, indeed, be astronomical.

From my experience when the theoretical physicists need a black hole and star collisions to explain something its no longer cosmology. JMO

So again, the "asteroid mining" premise (no actual mining geologist onboard) is based on the NST theory alone, zero observational evidence.

No need to argue much about this but I previously spent extensive time studying the NST for gold and it "only" makes sense mathematically.

The problem is that theoretical physicsts can't reconcile gold's properties within STR or GTR. So the two harvard lads came up with NST.

Makes sense though, a bunch of tech billionaires that believe all is subjective with zero background in geology want to mine asteroids.

A few years ago I invested in this company: http://www.nautilusminerals.com/IRM/content/default.aspx … which has a less ambitious goal: ocean floor mining of microscopic gold
