I’m curious just how much do you think it would cost per pound (using pound as a measure of mass which really isn’t correct) to bring back a thousand pounds or so of material from the asteroid belt? And how did you arrive at your figure? Hint you could use the Apollo program as an example

Why this insistence on using the Apollo program as your measuring stick? It isn't 1967 any more. Technology has changed a lot. We have have many more options for just getting out to an interesting prospect than sending a chemical rocket with a human crew to go fetch it.

What if you could send a swarm of small "thruster bots" out to attach to an asteroid and push it into an Earth/Moon L point for harvesting and that you could do this for just a few million dollars? At a return of investment 1:1000.
