[meteorite-list] Is James Cameron launching an asteroid mining company?

I just saw this on Yahoo news and had to pass it along:

Perhaps we can all get together and sell him (quoting the Big Kahuna) "ugly, cracked, weathered roadfill gravel that appears on ebay regularly" for $10 a gram so he can test his mining and extraction technologies here on earth for a fraction of what it will cost in space.  This is more entertaining than "Titanic".

By the way I'm founding a startup that will mine the earth's core, provide millions of jobs and add a googolplex $ the the world GDP.  I wonder if I can call Cameron and put in an order for a really nice diogenite.
