Am I right in thinking that nobody owns mineral rights in Antarctica?

The reason that I say this is; an asteriod is one of small size as compared to a planet. Once that last bucket of ore is on the transport ship an asteriod is no more.

Then that only leaves what must be paid for while in space. Water, Oxygen, Rocket fuels(not counting water derived), Food and shelter these things would never be free and would be of very high cost. So what would be the currency of choice or would it be a barter system at first?

Lots of free blog hosting services out there….

SpaceShipOne Back on Course X Prize contender Burt Rutan says his team has solved a control problem that threw its spacecraft off course during a historic flight last month. The prize requires a privately funded craft to fly into suborbital space twice within two weeks to win the $10 million jackpot. But Rutan said his team plans to do more. “We’ll do three flights in two weeks,” he said.
