Chuck, please be more careful with your attributions. stmx3 proposed the
gold asteroid, not I (Hop David).

How'd you get left in there?

I happen to believe "The Killer App" will be an extinct comet (Nereus or
1979 VA? Maybe even Deimos - it possibly has interior volatiles and is
easier to export from than Mars). Then when delta v is much cheaper,
metal rich asteroids will also become Killer Apps.

Hmmm... iffy, but possible.
