I fail to find holes in his arguments

the cost of space resources utilization is not all that much using
today's launch costs... The actual launch costs of the equipment to go
out and mine an asteroid will not be the main cost item in the project
budget.

The high cost of Earth launch drives up the market price and
profitability of asteroidal and lunar resources... If Earth launch
costs come down, then the price of products and services from
asteroidal and lunar resources will also come down, and so will
profitability.
