This is a little bit out there .... I think it is kind of confused. If you are mining titanium on the moon or whatever, then this will not be your first start-up unless you are already a billionaire and are willing to throw your money away or your "mining startup" is really you investing your billions into into someone that can do it, in which case it is not necessarily you "doing the startup" so I'm not sure it is relevant to the discussion.
Also, I think you vastly underestimate what kind of business knowledge is needed in running a successful business. Take your headset into the right-eye example, if you are a fresh-faced kid with nothing but an idea of how to put music into somebody's right eye, or whatever, you may not understand much about GAAP, manufacturing, how deals are brokered, etc.
