Dubious Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Good for a laugh, anyway. If anyone wants to get excited, there is much more gold and platinum a lot closer than that space rock--only a few thousand miles away, straight down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had that much gold here on earth it would be worth what sand is worth ... it would be too plentiful to be worth much. Klunker comes closer to the truth as it is like a cryptocurrency. The commodity would be 'worthless' once here but the cost of getting it here would be GREAT! We would have all our water containers lined on the inside with gold though. I'm kinda liking that!

mn90403 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 Here is another 'take' on the subject matter: We all know that there is more small gold than big gold nuggets. Is this asteroid a small or big nugget in the scheme of things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will it realistically do nothing, or would emotion, speculation, greed and all those other human traits that drive our markets cause the gold price to rise or fall? Aside from that there`ll be some ingenuity applied to lighten that storage for sure.

mn90403 Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 As another 'aside' when considering costs of recovery and costs associated with space travel we will consider those costs in this case as high but we seem to think colonizing Mars will not be expensive! We can just easily finance an escape to Mars or some other place in the near future. I think we are stuck here longer than some people want to think. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norvic Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 MN totally off subject but I`m curious, what is that shaded x that comes up "Ignore signature preferences" when one runs the cursor over it, in your posts. Probably a dumb arse question but I`ve just got to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
