Apparently those who are spending their own money on it feel otherwise.
We’ve already landed a craft on an asteroid and it wasn’t even a craft designed for landing, they just thought they’d try it as the mission ended. The Japanese have landed and lifted off with samples they brought back to earth.
Well if it is private money I am all for it! But the feasibility of landing on the moon and mining with the idea of making a profit is rather far fetched right now. If we had colonized the moon in the 1980’s or 1990’ we would probably be up to the task. The way our government does anything anymore is laughable...
