We don't need cigarettes but metals are a necessity. How would you prefer we get them?
Asteroids mining!
Every time I see this I am taken back to a time when you could walk into a convenience store and drop a quarter into a machine and blast asteroids to smithereens until you made one last mistake and hard to drop another quarter. Thanks!
Could the light be blinding all the animals? I would assume their eyes would have evolved to be extremely sensitive to light.
Yes, there is an issue with exploration lights effecting native life. Recent attempts to capture a giant squid on video were only realized when they switched the lights off.
It took me longer to get past the "human verification" than to read the entire article. Odd state of the world.
At least it didn't show the "give us your email to subscribe to our spam" the moment you scroll a milimeter down the page. I started subscribing "admin@theirdomain.com" every time i get a popup like that... maybe i should start using some regulator (fcc,..) email instead.

Do we not have these metals now, before we've done a single bit of seafloor mining?
This kind of posts make me think. We all love technology because it's so cool, but how cool is nature already? Making our lives awesome is as much about protecting and discovering the sources for our inspiration, as building the stuff we are inspired to build.
There is not much we can do/build with nature. Even if everyone would take idea of "protection/inspiration", there are not many sustainable business models towards that direction. Nature is more aligned with inward observation / meditation, which is more aligned with Eastern tradition.
