good point...also what happens if we start digging on Mars, or some other planet and find 1000 tons of gold?

187,200 tonnes of gold has already been mined. So another 1000 is going to be a blip. At 1M it could become interesting though :)

I am certain that asteroid mining will happen sooner and be far more profitable.
