IF: the cost of extraction exceeds the value of the material;
THEN: the material has no value.
Simple. Even a caveman should understand it.
No. That’s not right. There’s He3 up there. That IS valuable. Period. Anybody saying it isn’t is an idiot.
Now, given current TECHNOLOGY it isn’t valuable enough to justify extraction.
But that doesn’t make it not valuable.
That makes a it a good reason to improve technology.
Almost everything we have now was once not worth the money to get and make. So we improved technology.
