There's nothing on it we can use. That's the gist of it. If it has resources we could exploit we'd have been making bases up there since day one.
There are so many asteroids with exotic materials that justify throwing nonsensical amounts of money into furthering space exploration and travel. The problem is being unable to take advantage of those resources in our lifetime. Makes us unwilling to try.
Agreed. You said it well.
