Just suppose this is serious for a moment.

Who is going to give permission for the 'miners' to mine on the moon? Who owns the moon? To whom do the assets associated with the endeavour belong? It will, apparently be achieved with robotic diggers, and processed also by robots whilst they are in orbit. To whom will these robots belong?

As yet there is no World Government. I can see a huge political bun-fight here. It is still not possible to lob in somewhere on Earth and start exploiting the natural resources of a country, even one of which you are a citizen, without that countries approval and permission.

Lawyers will be salivating with excitement over this idea!
