    Asteroids, considering that most if not all of the platinum group metals, specially the more rare ones, came to Earth as asteroids, and considering that there are millions upon millions or perhaps billions upon trillions in our solar system alone. And that some are comprised of Platinum Group Metals in high percentages. And that the UN has recently opened the door to mine these space rocks, I think you can see where I am going with this.

    China already is exploring this possibility with the intent to actually make it happen.

    Lasso those big space rocks and mine them to dust. I personally believe this will be the next big thing in precious metals mining.

    At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense. -- Carl Sagan
