		<description>Nope.... 100 humans couldn&#039;t do it either. To build a robot from scratch takes thousands of chemicals, work in thousands of factories, and tens or hundreds of thousands of humans working together. 100 humans could certainly assemble a robot, but build one from scratch? No. 

Like I said, you could fabricate a basic metal shell perhaps, but every thing else is the problem. Short of nanotech magic, you just can&#039;t do it. You need real infrastructure in the form of thousands of companies to make anything even vaguely complex. </description>

		<description>It is a statement of faith, or maybe expectation, but it&#039;s based on factual extrapolations, so I don&#039;t think &#039;religious&#039; is fair. 

What I mean by adaptability is the ability to adapt to unfamiliar situations, both physically and mentally. Humans currently murder computers in terms of situational awareness and problem solving, but robots have some advantages in tems of being able to survive harsh conditions and being adaptability to differerent body plans/sizes.

The problem with fuck-babies is that human slavery is both illegal and morally wrong, plus fuck babies are not well suited to asteroid mining due to the lack of air and general harsh conditions.</description>

		<description>Convenience. It&#039;s close to home. It&#039;s generally easier to ship to from earth, and has less of a transmission delay if we need to be directing some of the activity at first. Deimos or Ceres are less conveniently situated but have smaller gravity wells and still will provide a stable base. It&#039;s all trade offs. </description>

		<description>Why on the moon? Then you&#039;re just in another gravity well that you need to get everything in and out of. Better do it on Deimos or something.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Remember, at some point robotic agility and general adaptability will exceed ours. &lt;/blockquote&gt;This is a statement of religious faith, not of logical inevitability.  It&#039;s not even clear what &quot;general adaptability&quot; means.

I suspect that robots will be as agile and adaptable as we are right about the same time we start making robots from human flesh.  Better yet, we can just fuck and have some kids and it will be pretty  much the same thing.</description>

		<description> ...That&#039;s probably the best decision.  Holding your breath is actually the wrong thing to do if you&#039;re abotu to go out in vacuum without a spacesuit; the air in your lungs will expand and seriously damage your lungs (think &#039;popping balloon&#039;).

The right thing to do is to take a few deepbreaths, hold it for a bit, then exhale as much as you can, so you have enough oxygen in your blood to function for a bit, but not enoguh gas in your lungs to make them pop.</description>

		<description>The last two lines of the story assume the material is to be sent back to earth, while the miners are talking of using the stuff out there. Which is it? </description>

		<description>Not really... with asteroids you don&#039;t have that pesky 1g depositing all the good rare stuff deep down where it&#039;s hard to get. In fact, many asteroids have pretty high concentrations of materials you&#039;d have thought to be spread around quite evenly in a zero-g environment... Which leads credence to the theory that at least some asteroids were parts of larger planetary bodies where gravity &quot;sifted&quot; the materials over a period of time and which are now exposed.
Also &quot;pretty much the entire solar system is made of the same stuff that the earth is&quot; - yes, but in what proportion? For example, titanium is common as dirt on Moon&#039;s surface. On Earth? Not so much.</description>

		<description>Well no, that&#039;s not true at all. What happens in 2015, maybe, are asteroid flybys with OTS instrument packages the size of microwaves. That&#039;s rather far down the list of challenges to extraterrestrial resource exploitation. Just to get everyone on the same page.</description>

		<description>Impossible is a dangerous word. There is no one step that&#039;s impossible, therefore the whole is not impossible. There are techs we need to develop. It may require a stepping stone manufacturing base on the moon. Remember, at some point robotic agility and general adaptability will exceed ours. Ask yourself if it would be impossible for a colony of, say 100 humans who didn&#039;t need to sweat life support systems could accomplish. I think i&#039;ll see your impossible in my lifetime.</description>
