Like we know every place on the earth.
And sure there's maybe a couple little islands or some like place deep in the Amazon we haven't gone yet, but we kind of have a general sense of where we can pull resources from and what we can do.
And our rate of resource utilization is just going up at a huge at a huge marker right now.
And so what do you do?
Well, think about it this way, guys.
If I can go mine the universe and I am the sole supplier of resources from the universe.
Well now earth becomes beholden to me.
And so what does that mean for any country, for any company, for any civilization?
Like that's actually a huge problem that we have to think about long term.
This isn't a company where I'm going to sit here and say, like, we could make a billion dollars, or even we could make a trillion dollars.
You have to actually kind of think of a company in asteroid mining as what happens if we actually just invalidate the US dollar?
Like it's a different way to think about world GDP and and how we build as a society.
And so there's a lot of societal problems that need to be solved.
There's a lot of
kind of complex problems that will need to be solved.
But what I'll say here is that this is how you elevate humans as a whole.
Imagine if for all you guys,
Purchasing resources became much cheaper.
We can argue about the economics and who gets rich off it.
Like that's a great problem to have.
