Actually, this brings up something that's been bugging me for a while now. Rockhounds primary industry is mining asteroids and selling the metal to Earth, right? Running a few numbers, it looks like the first Space Rock would've contained enough metal to keep terrestrial production going through to 2015. And Rockhounds has done seven of these things.
So the question is either a) how in the hell did the metal market not crash, or b) where the hell is all that metal?
(Not a slam on Rockhounds as a concept, mind, just a "wait, what?" moment on my part.)---
