This is so Star Trek:
"A team including Larry Page, Ram Shriram and Eric
Schmidt of Google, director James Cameron, Charles Simonyi
(Microsoft executive and astronaut), Ross Perot Jr. (son of
Ross Perot), Chris Lewicki (NASA Mars mission manager), and
Peter Diamandis (X-Prize) have formed a new company called
Planetary Resources, and are expected to announce plans on
April 24th to mine asteroids. A study by NASA released April
2nd claims a robotic mission could capture a 500 ton
asteroid and bring it to orbit the moon for $2.6 billion.
The additional cost to mine the asteroid and return the ores
to Earth would make profit unlikely even if the asteriod was
20% gold."
