Sure, but not for people on Earth. Pushing stuff out and back into our gravity well is just too much of an ordeal for it ever to be profitable. Now, set up some refining stations at lagrange points and shuttle highly refined goods out of them to other stations and occasionally back into large gravity wells, and that may well make sense. Mostly though space mining won't be for profit so much as it will be a requirement for infrastructure establishment in space. But first we're going to need to figure out the propulsion problem in terms of some sort of tech in the ballpark of ion propulsion levels of isp but with usable levels of total thrust as we've already basically squeezed everything chemical rockets have to offer that's suitable for use anywhere near our atmosphere at industrial scales.

In a photo like that at an angle like that you're not going to be able to see shock cones. You really need a super super tight tracking shot, and it to be a video not a still to make out that kind of thing outside of a highly controlled environment, and even then it's not guaranteed.
