    That makes more sense, thanks. So those pieces would be harder to recover. I’m trying to figure out how much of it they lose in such an operation. Is it like half of the amount? Or is it like single digit percentages?

    I suppose even if they lose half, it would still be better than trying to put it in earth orbit and trying to mine it there. So ultimately that would be the preferred approach.

    And maybe not kill millions of people in the process.
