Love your work! If they can automate regolith mining on the Moon, they can use those same techniques here on Earth and quickly dwarf the fortune That Guy already has. Mining is NOT easy, so you don't even need to get to the purifying and manufacturing parts you called out before you run into claims that are, to put it charitably, implausible.
Thanks! I’m not the biggest fan of the company of course but I do hope they succeed with this project. I think over the next few decades we’re going to see a huge race to build the best space mining gear. Asteroids are just loaded with rare earths. Excited to learn a bunch more about the composition of the moon too. Definitely some things to look forward to!
@@SwampMonster1 Almost forgot about that! Very excited for that. I hope they do well. I’ve wanted to try and build a 3d metal printer like that. That and I really want to try and build a mini liquid rocket engine. That will have to wait until I move but I really want to do it. Callum Long here on UA-cam is doing one and I’ve been anticipating his next vid! It would be incredible if we also got a starship launch this or next month.
@@MaxfieldMED I’ll talk to you more later on Patreon about your future projects, some of them have me “very moist” and keen to be involved somehow. 🤣 Hoping I get back home to VA before starship orbital test but it doesn’t look hopeful.

I’ll save my defamatory remarks on Blue Origin for Patreon.
Also, Relativity’s methalox orbital attempt coming up in 36 hours.
