In fact, all the gold, cobalt, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, osmium, palladium, platinum, rhenium, rhodium and ruthenium that we now mine from the Earth’s crust, and that are essential for our economic and technological development, came originally from the rain of asteroids that hit the Earth after the crust cooled

At today’s prices, a relatively small metallic asteroid with a diameter of 1 mile contains more than $20 trillion US dollars worth of industrial and precious metals.

I say lets do this. So how did you become a trillionaire. I rode a frakin asteroid bitches. Bill Gates money? Please. That’s a spec compared to my wealth.
