[ExI] Space Mining

[Kelly Anderson]

So nearby they are reopening a gold mine using cyanide to bleach the
miniscule amounts of gold out of the ore in open top but lined pits.
As I think through whether this is a good or bad thing for our part of
the country, I wonder when does the EXL community think asteroid
mining might actually start to happen.

Personally, I can't imagine it being more than 24 years out, the
lifespan of this locally proposed mine.
