What could you mine on the moon that would be worth transporting home?

I gather there are asteroids with a lot of gold and platinum. Just crash one into the moon and then mine the debris.

I'm not sure that's better than mining them in-situ?

If you rely on implication to make your point, you should mentally underwrite the risk of being frustrated at people who read what you wrote, rather than read your mind :-)

Hardly frustrated! Believe it or not, I do change my opinions and perspectives when I find that warranted, but my view of the world is not lazily arrived at, and to see a need to change it requires an argument I find even on reflection I can't answer. HN is one of the most reliable sources of those that I know, and developing a thread in this way is one of the more reliable methods I know to improve my odds of elicit…

Fair enough - same here.

To get more explicit then: what did you mean to imply with this?
