Alright, this gives me crazy heebie jeebies. Something about how close that horizon is, combined with the fact that beyond it is just nothing, absolute nothing, for light-years in most directions; hits the buttons for claustrophobia, agoraphobia, acrophobia, and thalassophobia at the same time.
I have never felt happy about the fact that I was born too early to go space mining til now. No thanks. Maybe if I get to keep a ton or two of native platinum for myself, otherwise no thanks.

Now also imagine the view when you’re there and you turn off the light.
Black will be really fucking black and you will only see some stars
If you can’t even make renewable energy harvesting infrastructure with just renewable inputs, which space mining?
