Perplexing

This post from the mining an asteroid series appears to be the most popular as of now.

It has me scratching my head as to why.  The whole point of mining an asteroid is to make a buck, not to go to Mars and do some science.  So, I don't get it.

One way to understand is to consider the culture today.  It is almost a sin to make money now.  So, anyone proposing to do just that isn't taken seriously.  Or perhaps, that person suffers in esteem.

It doesn't make sense to me.  This kind of thing worries me a bit.
