Space mining could be done by robots not by humans. If nanotechnology and Artificial Life sciences were advanced enough we could exploit the moon or mars or wahtever as follows.
1/ Send intelligent & autoreplicable robots to the moon.
2/ The robots stablish there and build a base.
3/ They begin mining and build factories in order to build more robots, machinery and containers.
4/ They send back the extracted resources to earth using cheap big containers.
5/ Profit !;)
It sounds outrageous but I do beleive sometime in the future the process will be pretty much like this.
The spanish version of slashdot (barrapunto) is actually offline and redirects to the european anti software patents campaign page (also in spanish). See http://barrapunto.com
Why not using a digital noise?

A: Generally our polymer composite sensors can detect volatiles with molecular
weights from 30 to 250. However this is not a sure rule since we have
also
developed sensors that respond to compounds outside of this molecular
range.
We have demonstrated the sensitivity and discrimination to pure solvents
(butanol, toluene, DMSO), complex mixtures (commercially available
perfumes), natural products (essential oils, coffees, fruits) and by products from the metabolic breakdown of bacteria. We have also tested grains, rancidity of dried products, spices, and packaging materials.
Nope, I'm not. I'm actually looking forward to be a Jawa. Killing rednecks in Tatoonie with my ion-gun, stealing thir droids and bringing them to my massive Sandcrwaler for trade.
Utinni!

I always find it incredible, when this kind of trolling reaches Slashdot.
PLEASE DON'T FEED THE TROLL.
Enough said.
There's no relation between both sites at all, but yes, "barrapunto" is spanish for "slashdot" (slash->barra dot->punto).
Barrapunto is just a slashdot-like site with tech oriented news for spanish speaking nerds (from Spain or Southamerica) and its based in Madrid.

We'd have a Knuth-complete web technology then.
