No i agree we have only skimmed the suface of earths resources. But the rest seem to be in hostile countrys that dont want to share or in places were we would have to damage the enviroment to get at.


If we mine NEOs at the very least it would releave some of the enviromental problems of strip minning ect as you cant pollute a astroid or hostile planet.

Could you be more detailed as to what you consider as a hostile country? I would need more precision on this very part from you if you could.

Middle east like afganistan which is siting on a trillion dollers of rare earths.
