The golden asteroid that could make everyone on Earth a billionaire   quote:Whether it was the Big Bang, Midas or God himself, we don’t really need to unlock the mystery of the origins of gold when we’ve already identified an asteroid worth $700 quintillion in precious heavy metals. what are you newly minted billionaires gonna do with your filthy riches???

Asteroid mining is good as hell op. Especially because it has a good chance of breaking capitalism if you do it right

Yes this asteroid not only will be captured and mined but also distributed to everyone in a truly egalitarian manner like all the other resources.

It would be awesome if they try to send the asteroid to Earth for us to be rich but they gently caress up and accidentally kill us all instead.

Hey now they don't have to put all that gold into circulation right away! I'm sure some humanitarian will offer to sit on 99.99% of it for indeterminate amount of time as to not upset the markets.

it owns how insanely rich people will now start making plans to mine this that cost insane amounts of money and aren't feasible instead of doing something about climate change because that doesn't make money

scientist : it’s not feasible to mine that asteroid . chances of success are infinitely small . rich person: I want to make a real life Goldar and have him destroy the pour by melting liquid gold onto them investor : wow ! now That’s thinking outside the box !

simply place the asteroid into a low earth orbit, allowing the atmosphere to harmlessly heat and break it apart, easily distributing the riches across the population by raining liquid gold everywhere

I hope it crashes into earth and kills us all in the most thematically appropriate fashion. e: if it's too small for that I hope it burns up in the atmosphere so that only a penny size piece makes it to the surface.

More like the golden asteroid that some billionaire will acquire the mining rights to and then make even more billions selling futures meanwhile the thing just sits in orbit doing nothing.

ASenileAnimal posted:if everyone had trillions of dollars in gold wouldnt it be worthless? there are people that sell sand and dirt  gold has some utility as a really good conductor so it'd have at least some value, though it'd be funny to see scrappers with piles of gold waiting for the per ton price to go up $10 so they could turn a profit

Will asteroid mining increase earth's mass to the point where it flies off course and crashes into the sun?
