    20 years ago it was Bush and the Cheneys that were so bad we would have been told to vote for anyone running Blue.

      I can’t see it being more affordable to use humans to farm asteroids than machines. Life support systems seem expensive long term. That said, I also can’t think of a resource that would be worth mining off planet in that time frame.
