Space/Science » in reply to Martian GOLD RUSH?

Even if Mars or the moon was covered in gold dust...

It wouldn't be cost effective to try and bring it back to Earth. The last I paid any attention, gold was selling for somewhere around $400 an ounce. It costs more than that to launch payloads to the moon or Mars, and it isn't cheap to launch anything from those places back to Earth.
