Gavin Baker predicts SpaceX will capture metal asteroids richer in gold and platinum than the entire Earth's crust and park them over a Pacific atoll
"Look, I mean, this sounds crazy, but asteroid mining is going to be a very real thing. We're going to capture, there's asteroid Psyche. It has more gold, silver, platinum, every precious metal in it that exists in the Earth's crust."
"At some point, particularly with Starship, and we may need that lunar base to make this happen, you'll be able to capture these asteroids."
"You'll bring them into a stable geosynchronous orbit over some American-owned atoll in the middle of the Pacific, no humans within whatever 50 miles."
