Off-World metallicity is simply offering us the next great future gold-
rush x 1000, as a highly profitable metallicity era providing darn
good employment plus extremely valuable resources that our planet as
is seems to be running out of affordable and much less environmentally
failsafe options, not to mention the past and ongoing environmental
plus genetic trauma that’s caused by existing methods (including human
genetic mutations, multiple cancers and premature deaths) that can be
directly linked to existing mining, hydrocarbon extractions, various
processing activities and their methods of forced cultivation and
product distributions for our use and consumption in order to sustain
the mainstream status quo.
Assuming our planet Earth isn’t going to implode on us, the moon isn’t
going to fall on us and that our current or future leaders are not
going to cause WW3, or that our terrestrial metallicity of common and
rare metals, minerals, hydrocarbons, fresh water and our global
biodiversity are never going to get depleted past the point of no
return, the only valid reason for going off-world is simply for the
greater fun, profits and less terrestrial trauma to our frail
environment that seems to be in great need of salvaging as is, not to
mention billions more of us humans on their way plus our escalating GW/
AGW factor that’s compromising virtually everything we know and
supposedly cherish about our overpopulated planet as is.

really only limited or getting scarce here on Earth, whereas upon our
moon and especially the extremely nearby planet Venus is hardly going
to be deficient of such metallicity. With essentially unlimited and
actually clean energy that’s existing as is for exploiting our
physically dark moon and especially from the planet Venus that’s still
so geologically surface active, means that at least the necessary
energy for those explorations, extraction, processing and export of
such valuable metallicity shouldn’t be all that problematic.
This future off-world version of mining rare earths represents a
metallicity-rush era that could make gold, platinum and even diamonds
too common and perhaps even eventually too cheap to hoard, so that
kind of puts those oligarchs of DeBeers, China and Rothschilds in a
rather poor global market devaluation situation, plus further loss of
authority over the rest of us. Naturally the well established
defenders of our public funded and faith-based mainstream status-quo
would certainly do whatever it takes for keeping such off-world
resources as taboo, forbidden or unattainable in order to sustain
their terrestrial hoarding and artificial scarcity leverage they have
on us. Imagine what dumping a thousand tonnes of platinum or gold
onto the global market would do to its terrestrial value, or even
those elements of radium, rhodium and thorium are not exactly dirt
cheap.
Even though initially spendy for exploiting off-world mining, whereas
instead of risking human lives it’ll mostly involve robotic
excavating, processing and somewhat automated shipments back to Earth
that will likely make those previous terrestrial gold-rush eras seem
like primitive practice dry runs. Off-world basics of mining
carbonado/diamond and even common ores of iron plus those high
concentrations of titanium as well as thorium, uranium and many other
heavy elements are not exactly of insignificant value to us, and
getting especially valuable when terrestrial resources are either
running on near empty or just getting too spendy and/or too
politically and human life risky to obtain, plus otherwise hoarded and
artificially overvalued by those within upper most 0.0001% (7000
individuals). Those Canadian oil-sands represent a negative energy
coefficient factor once everything gets taken into account, not to
mention their horrific environment impact that has to include more
than doubling the carbon footprint per unit of energy, and otherwise
the fracking of deep shale in order to extract natural gas that has
multiple impurities to process out and involves multiple environmental
consequences (all of which being negative) is also not exactly a
viable energy alternative compared to the relatively failsafe thorium
fueled reactors that we should have been going full steam ahead with
as of more than a decade ago (instead, we get to go to war).
In addition to discovering and exploiting a treasure trove of minerals
or raw element wealth, we should also ponder that there are perhaps
safer planets or moons that humanity and all other forms of complex
biodiversity might actually better survive those future asteroid
encounters of the lithobraking impact kind. It’s understood that even
fast moving molecular/nebula clouds of sufficient metallicity can
become downright lethal to surface life as we know it (such as when
the nearby Sirius B terminated into a white dwarf), as well as our own
sun is perfectly capable of tossing a fast 1e14 kg halo CME at us,
which would easily penetrate our natural global defenses and thereby
cause great amounts of damage to our less than robust infrastructure
(including satellite damage could be rather extensive), though
fortunately and lucky for us that most nasty CMEs have been under 5e13
kg, seldom exceeding 2000 km/s nor having been directed at us.
However, something of good mass (such as a large asteroid or small
planetoid) directly impacting our sun could easily cause a 1e15 kg
CME.
As those Sirius stars close in on us, their Kuiper belt and
considerable Oort cloud of numerous items of good size and mass could
easily interact with our solar system, including the increasing odds
of perturbing something into impacting us or our sun. Without the
like of JWST along with a StarShade, we don’t even have a good method
of detecting such icy threats.
With certainty, the mostly geothermally made toasty planet Venus
offers terrific potential of becoming safer than Earth when it comes
down to surviving a truly nasty halo CME, plus better situated and
greater shielded as for fending off cosmic energy and those passing
molecular/nebula clouds of any great metallicity, because that’s
exactly what an extremely dense atmosphere that’s continually
replenished from within kind of does. Even asteroids focused upon
impacting Venus are going to get their arrival moderated down to a
dull roar due to the terrific density of its thick atmosphere, whereas
our nearly naked Earth is eventually going to get seriously nailed at
near full velocity. The mostly geothermally heated surface of Venus
is simply better protected from solar and cosmic radiation, as well as
whatever local radioactive deposits are more than a hundred fold
better shielded and/or attenuated by way of the given density of that
mostly CO2 atmosphere. Of course there’s always a systemic risk in
doing most anything on or off-world, however the payback of mining
asteroids plus that of extracting valuable elements from our
physically dark moon as well as going for the extremely nearby planet
Venus seems to suggest a way better investment payback than our
government agencies and their contracted (public funded) partners have
been allowing us to realize.
Heavy metallicity saturated asteroids like YU55 are a dime a dozen, so
to speak. This is simply a perfectly fair cost or investment analogy
relative to the greater worth of their metallicity plus offering a few
off-world OASIS/gateway considerations that could become real handy.
For example, our second moon/asteroid Cruithne would make a very good
outpost/gateway and fuel depot/OASIS, although setting up Venus L2
would certainly be much cooler, stable and reliably passing within 100
LD every 19 months. Even LiftPort is officially doing their LSEI
version of my LSE-CM/ISS (lunar space elevator with its enormous
counter mass hosting its international space station outpost/oasis/
gateway, plus having its secondary tethered science and energy
transfer platform reaching to within 6r of Earth), though LSEI or even
my LSE-CM/ISS is not nearly as ambitious as relocating our moon to
Earth L1.
I could imagine processing through not more than 10% from any given
asteroid is going to become worth trillions, or in the case of our
moon taking but 0.0001% (7.35e16 kg) could easily represent a hundred
million trillion ($1300/kg), or even worth a billion trillion ($13,000/
kg). Obviously extracting a millionth of the metallicity mass from
our moon couldn’t possibly hurt a damn thing, other than leaving
excavated tunnels within that robust paramagnetic basalt that can be
reutilized as future habitats and off-world infrastructure by way of
TBMs clearing out 10% of lunar volume (2.2e18 m3) from within or
underneath that thick and fully fused paramagnetic basalt crust.
(that’s only providing 220e6 m3 of extremely safe underground habitat
for each of ten billion of us, or 2.2e9 m3 for one billion of us, and
those lunar TBM tailings or spoils from such extensive tunneling can
just get piled up on the surface or dumped into nearby craters for
future processing)
Gold is currently at $60K/kg (should be worth at least $64K/kg by
2012), and we're being informed that terrestrial deposits likely had
something to do with asteroid impacts. I do believe the moon provides
ample evidence of asteroid impacts, and there are certainly more
spendy elements than gold, such as the value of bulk radium (Ra226)
can easily fetch $128M/kg (I’ve found other sources as having
specified a production cost of $75M/kg, although its artificial
scarcity and hoarding can easily double that).
‘Today, because of simplified methods of production, the market value
of a gram is $70,000. This means that one ounce of radium would cost
$1,960,000. The New York State Hospital at Buffalo recently bought
$300,000 worth of radium at that rate. Its records show that 800
persons have been cured of cancer since its use there. The invention
of radium emanation apparatus has helped the cause immensely.”
Ra226 at $75K/g and with market profiteers hording radium for medical
and research use, including their artificial rare-earth scarcity
charge of $1K/mg of medical dosage is a market value of $1B/kg,
compared to the nearly worthless element of platinum in bulk is only
good for $54K/kg. Besides various bulk volumes of rare metallicity,
there’s also He3 for fusion energy applications, and of course
extracting water and oxygen as byproducts of processing lunar basalt
bedrock shouldn’t be exactly worthless, and otherwise I can’t hardly
imagine our moon or Venus without radium or plutonium when they each
seem to have more than their fair share of uranium and thorium.
He3 as derived from terrestrial resources is currently pegged as worth
$4M/kg, although that price could easily tank below $1M/kg or less if
it were simply obtained from natural gas that’s still wasting the vast
bulk of it.
http://www.lunarpedia.org/index.php?title=Helium#Value_of_Lunar_Heliu...
We have consistently disregard and essentially vented all the He3 in
our natural gas, just like we’ve ignored most all the He4 from the
very get-go. At 5 cents/kwhr makes He3 worth $3B/tonne, and with good
automation for obtaining He3 from natural gas should drive that
terrestrial value down below $1B/tonne, and exporting He3 from our
moon
shouldn’t be all that costly, as long as it’s not the one and only
extracted element. However, a low density asteroid like Cruithne of
1.3e14 kg and even a heavy metallicity density YU55 should each be
loaded with He3.
Radium that gives us radon gas is actually a decay byproduct or
secondary element of going after uranium and thorium, as well as
contained in spent nuclear fuels (especially found in MOX, and of
course that element of plutonium as a metal being worth $11M/kg isn’t
exactly insignificant value). Of course terrestrial hydrocarbon
fuels have always had trace amounts of radioactive elements including
plutonium and radium, whereas essentially all of that hydrocarbon
laced with elements like plutonium and radium gets tossed into the
environment. (lucky us, and don’t even bother to ask how much helium
gets vented)
Of course going off-world for just one specific element as obtained
from our physically dark moon or from Venus would be downright silly
and spendy as hell, especially silly when so many other valuable
metallicity elements plus He3 exist.
William Mook has been telling us for years, and keeps telling us why
and how to go about gathering up, mining and processing asteroids.
Right now with existing TBM applied technology there are somewhat
limited metallicity deposits (especially of rare earths) on our
planet, whereas going off-world seems kind of unlimited, especially
when considering what our moon and the extremely nearby planet Venus
should have to offer. Thereby spending a trillion to capture a given
asteroid and setting up those mostly robotic methods of mining,
processing and exporting is less than a drop of financial investment
in the otherwise overflowing buckets of investment returns, and no
doubt those smarter than us ETs would naturally have known this. Of
course we don’t have to bother with capturing the asteroid/planetoid
Selene that’s worth 7.35e22 kg of raw elements, because it’s already
parked in a relatively stable orbit, as well as ideal for
accommodating the LSE-CM/ISS (aka Lunar Space Elevator to/from its L1)
that I’ve mentioned only a few thousand times.
Even relatively common terrestrial elements such as iron have been
causing absolutely horrific environmental trauma and terrain carnage,
not to mention the energy taken for the mining excavations, transport,
processing and finished product distribution, plus some metals having
a few social/political tensions that tend to get some of us killed.
Therefore, obtaining such metallicity elements from a passing asteroid
that’s captured, or from that of our moon or even from the extremely
nearby planet Venus seems kind of obvious, whereas each of those
having their very own unlimited renewable energy and no stinking
Greenpeace or any other tree-hugging environmentalists, biodiversity
protectors nor complex regulatory agencies to contend with, could make
our wild west seems like a preschool temper tantrum because of the
wealth and subsequent hording and greed that’ll likely happen unless
private enterprise is allowed to function without the usual social/
political or faith-based authority getting involved.
Obviously our DARPA, NASA nor any other public-funded agency or
contracted teams of our supposedly democratic republic are not going
to step-up and announce squat via mainstream media, or otherwise
bother to educate this generation nor even the next K12 and higher
educated republic about such off-world matters, and unfortunately our
President BHO is too preoccupied with his political damage-control
issues of excessive federal debt and energy shortages to be of any
use, and his somewhat unproductive energy wizard Steven Chu is also in
damage-control mode, plus William Mook as our resident fly-by-rocket
and energy wizard of Oz doesn’t seem to have the necessary resources
to accomplish any of this alone. So, as long as terrestrial
geothermal, solar and wind derived energy are not going to be allowed
to flourish on any large scale competitive basis, is what kind of
leaves the rest of us stuck with off-world alternatives that may seem
like another wild west kind of gold-rush era because, no government of
Earth can say or enforce squat about individuals and private investors
going after off-world stuff, unless they have their N.W.O. plans of
shooting us citizens of Earth out of LEO or otherwise keeping us away
from exploiting our moon.
So what the hell are the rest of us village idiots still waiting for?
