Dear David:
I loved the pictures and, his accent. Both lovely.
As for the other aspects of it, I wish he would take my courses at Loyola, and/or, read this book, in which I discuss asteroid mining.

Maybe, just listen to my cspan interview on it?
To answer your question, no one who mentions libertarianism is all bad, even if he does so fallaciously. This guy mentions libertarianism. So I support that aspect of his presentation.
Best regards,

No. An increased supply will merely lower the price. Only governments can destroy markets, not discoveries, new supplies.
