Figuring out how to get large nearly pure metallic asteroids in earth orbit would go a long way in figuring out that profitability.

The problem is that there seem to be plenty of easier to solve problems that would have an immediate effect on the dignity of human existance.

I love the challenge of space technically. My concern is confusing technical challenges with profitable/worthy pursuits.

I say this as a collector of inertial guidance systems.
