We'll see who's laughing in 20 years when you're stuck on earth and I'm banging Orion slave girls on my mining ship.

Gold & silver aren't really what they're going for up there. It's rare earths, and they will supposedly be able to tell which asteroid has them based on density or something. You find one that's even .5% platinum or iridium and you've cornered the market. And no enviro regs - you can basically blow it up to get at what you want.
