He draws a sharp distinction between cosmic debris as threat versus resource. The same material that could devastate Earth through impact also represents incalculable value if approached deliberately. Instead of mining, he prefers the term harvesting, which reframes the entire relationship. It suggests working with natural cycles rather than extracting through force. The question becomes not whether we encounter this material, but how we choose to engage with it. That shift in language reflects a deeper philosophical position about humanity's role in the solar system.
