And why, on earth, would rare earth elements have been so important?

Probably for doping other things with (alloys, etc.). But I don't know what they had in mind for this illustration.

:-D Seems like a graphical artist just copied their periodic table. An the rare earths jumped out. Anyway, that’s probably just misleading.
