If we manage to land an asteroid made of gold, the metal would no longer fetch 1.5K per oz. The price would fall. The same would happen in case of a major discovery on this planet. Maybe a gold asteroid hiding on the ocean floor?... Lol

He's all - we need to think outside the box, leave our comfort zone. But you ask him how do you get this stuff and he says - first we need to borrow a S-load of money.

C'mon. Think outside the box. Leave your comfort zone.

Bowers even has a plan to finance the project: space bonds.

How strange. A Michael "Mike" Bowers I know died not long ago from cancer.

He was one of the tankers with me on the West Hill at the Battle of Ben Het, and is either in, or mentioned in the movie.

I should remember which but my occasionalheimers is becoming allthetimeheimers.

As for the weed, I don't have a comment other than the US Government and Obama are out to control every little detail of US Citizens lives and from my view they are performing that task quite well.
