It's one thing to say that a celestial body is the common heritage of all mankind.

It's something else entirely to say that if you spend billions of dollars to pull platinum out of an asteroid you can't sell it for profit. I don't think the two things are necessarily mutually exclusive.

If they plan on selling the platinum they harvested they'd better plan on cutting dividend checks to every last person on earth.
