$2000 per lb,or $8,000 per gallon

A gallon of water on earth weighs 8 lbs. A gallon probably weighs a lot less on an asteroid.

You made the same point with your comment about weight.

Something in orbit, which is useful, is worth more than the same thing on the ground, because of the transport costs.
