Old-growth timber. Wetlands. Yellowtail tuna. Abalone. Heck, arable land (until we crash Oberon into Mars and make it wet, that is). These things we won't find in the rest of the Solar System. All the ammonia, chromium, and silica you can carry - yeah that, but in the mean time entire interlocking biological domains are being gutshot by Diesels. >Many of the resources that are being decried as being "lost" were not even considered resources 100 years ago.< That's the problem. Does that mean they are NOT resources? Noooo. Merely that there was no value assigned in considering their retrospective preciousness at the time. Thus Easter Island. A tree was valued more highly for the hut it would heat NOW than for its role in the future habitability of the island. This is something a free market looking always at the NOW is unequipped to do right. And if you don't like it, suddenly it's "mystical tribal Statist collective". Adjectives are cheap weapons. Do better.
