The high Delta V for mining the Asteroids, as inviting as that may be, can be more easily accomplished by using God's natural pier, the moon, and a few rail guns...

And don't give up on the Moon. The Japanese Kayuga has discovered Uranium on the surface... turns out lunar morphology ain't what was suspected.

There's a solid metal asteroid out there, by the way... no one is quite sure what kind of metal, but it's a half-mile of something heavy, and it ain't carbon.
