What if America captured and brought this back and refused to share? Do you think we’d see total economic warfare?

There's also a technique where lasers can be used to move it, even from earth, although it takes a lot of years.

Sure, we'll just use our tek mining drills. You farmed enough black pearls, right sister?

MUH DIAMOND RAIN
fag

where did lump of gold come from?

liberals would fund their DEI programs overseas with nonsensical shit.

could just bring it to the moon. we're gonna have asteroid processing on the moon and eventually build space ships up there with all those raw materials we find. fuel won't be a problem either because of all the helium 3 on the moon. the moon is the perfect launch pad

The idea would be to somehow shift it into orbit around the planet, or even at a lagrange point. Then we make space drones for mining

what if we accidently mega catastrophe destroy the earth for money!!?

JEWISH THREAD

6 gorrilion interdimensional cyber loosh shekels deposited in your account

With a lasso.

In order for the metals contained in the asteroid they would have to be of practical use. The arbitrary figure of 6 gajillion dollarydoos is just a titwank number made up to excite midwit retards. If the resources can't be used they have no practical value to anyone. The onbly way you could make use of a deposit like that is if you have an adequately sophisticated civilisation that requires them. So, if we're not building space stations or a Dyson Sphere then all that shit is completely worthless, worse than that it's dangerous.

This would be the equivalent of living in South Sudan and one day you wake up with 15 trillion tons of diamonds. Nobody would want to trade with you because now all the diamonds they have are worth nothing, they'd probably nuke you and build a giant wall around the ruins to stop you from attempting to trade any of it.

If you bought parts of it back and used them in a managed program of gradual enrichment and improvement then that would be useful but having all of it at once would just cause complete chaos.

Attach rockets, fly it back. Aim it at israel, easy.

Looks like E.T.

How do you think the moon got there?

You can guide it with missiles and thrusters

try to guide Ireland with missiles and thrusters and see what happens (aka nothing)

We should give Israel its cut of the asteroid, expressed delivered to Tel Aviv.

There's also trillions of dollars worth of gold on earth right now. And even though prices doubled the past couple years, a lot of mines with good deposits are still sitting because they're operating costs are too high.

no problem, i think i just figured out where we crash land it, then

How would you move it?

Anon Babble answer: giant magnet

actual answer: Realistically? Probably a modernized Orion project. The biggest hurdle honestly isn’t even the technology; but political hurdles—specifically the space treaty of 1967. Which prohibits both countries and people from making any claim in space or over any celestial bodies and the nuclear testing in outer space, which extends to the testing of nuclear propulsion rocketry. Which is pretty much the most realistic and really only technology we have to move an object of that mass and size to near Earth orbit

Kek

which mines have big enough deposits but jot big enough to warrant digging holes?.

In order for the metals contained in the asteroid they would have to be of practical use

All of those rare metals on 16 psyche would be of immense practical use. But really, besides the raw materials themselves, the real bread and butter would be MS&E and manufacturing in zero-gravity, which is something of a holy grail of sorts. And with having most of the raw material that we’d seemingly need, Starting would be the most difficult phase, but then it’d be nothing but exceptional growth

Really big lasso.

Pretty sure that's not how things work. The Spanish mined so much silver in the new world that it crashed their economy due to oversaturation.

i find it hard to believe that something could not replace rare minerals as a value holder in 2025. precious metals would just become like industrial metals. no value outside their practical uses

The Spanish didn’t have a heavy manufacturing base or building high-end electronics though, weren’t they? Literally not even compatible and if nothing else you can still have a government have and enforce something like the gold-standard it just wouldn’t be gold

Back then silver lacked many of it's industrial use cases it has today. Having new raw materials from an ore rich asteroid would be a boon for the modern world. Resources wouldn't limit us so strictly in manufacturing.

Would space water be safe to drink?

Why this specific asteroid? Why not any of the other asteroids floating around closer which should be easier to collect? And for that matter, if space is real, why haven't we been mining asteroids for the past 100 years?

most of the value for rare minerals is already due to industrial demand, gold and silver demand in jewelry barely impacts actual price of them. only thing skewed by jewelry demand. lab vs natural diamond price, physically they are the same, in fact lab grown diamonds have less imperfections and can sustain larger stress but their prices differ in orders of magnitude. that's why my fiance wears a lab diamond, not only does it look nicer it's also cheaper. and since she's not retarded she doesn't care

Okay, the $30+ trillion of debt would be paid off and that would just be a drop in the bucket. Then what? All of that money could very easily lead to hyperinflation. Besides, I'm pretty sure all of that capital would be hoarded and not a single penny of it would benefit any average person. The government would still tax us.

America captured and brought this back

refused to share

Why do you people think like this?

1 trip to this takes like 7+ years, then you probably need to wait until the Orbits are aligned again which could take some time and then you need another 7+ years for the trip back.
mining this thing would he so slow, so expensive that it wouldnt even be worth it.

EXCEPT CHINA WOULD DO THE SAME AND SHARE

LITTLE FASCIST RETARDS WOULD CRY ABOUT IT

IMPOTENT & INCOMPETENT DYING US EMPIRE

What does Star Trek have in common with toilet paper? They both get the Klingons out of Uranus!

astroid clipping

oh yes, how clever

Space force tractor beams.

Well first you would have to park it in Earth orbit without smashing it into either the Earth or the Moon and then also work out how to bring all this shit back down to the surface (or work out how to smelt alloys and then build things with them in space).

What would that cost to do?

We use nukes to push its trajectory and cause it to crash into Earth, preferably over the most Jew infested area of the planet: Washington DC

278km × 238km × 171km

forget it, you wont move this gigantic puece of shit anywhere anytime soon.
its also not something you want on a close orbit around the Earth.

There are a lot of boomer cold war era treaties that we need to just start ignoring.
What a shitty time filled with shitty people

We use nukes

nukes are fake and gay, they only work in fiction and jewish propaganda to scare goyims.

This is why the earth gets destroyed in "Don't Look Up"

there wont be any tractor beams for the dying US ermpire

Or just crash it directly into the moon and scoop up the pieces.
This might actually be the safest and most effective way to do space mining.

Imagine if you worked with a small group and you captured the asteroid and you fully owned it yourselves, like a space prospector, and then you basically became a quintillionaire. What would you do? Would you impregnate like a hundred hot chicks and set up a community where they could all live together and raise your children in a sort of paradise?

We drop it on china. With xhinks gone no will stop us from mining the crater.

Ultimately? God. Most recently? I don't know, some star probably blew up or something.

Would you impregnate like a hundred hot chicks and set up a community

Nigga, our billionaires can do that. Shit, not even that, just be poor and start a cult

It would be the purest water ever consumed by man.
You would actually have to add minerals back into it that earth water has and our bodies depend on.

refuse to share

yet

worth a brazillion space shekels

i think the entire idea of sending a space cowboy up there to lasso that hunk of shit and tow it back to near earth orbit in order to rape it of it's precious metals, implies the minerals extracted from within will be

shared

with the greater portion of humanity -after they pay a premium for said asset, that is!

deal with it

the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was like 10 miles wide or something. if you drop one 130 miles wide on earth i think it might cause some problems.

Not with autonomous vehicles.

Trucks aren't that big

this literally doesnt change anything about anything I said

Consider what happens to the price of gold. I don't think you understand what currency is. Gold has an industrial and electronics usage as well as anti-radiological applications.

Drill it.
Put in a huge anchor or something
Attach a few rockets to the anchor via ropes.
Pull the entire asteroid with the rocket towards earth.
Could even use multiple anchors.
In the end it's just a matter of calculating at which angle or position to bring it closer to earth so it has a proper fall at the desired location.

see

Everything's a racket here, the country is run by gangsters that went to Havard and Yale.

ITS ALL IMPOTENT NAZI SCUM

Drop it on Birmingham

$10,000 quadrillion is $10 quintillion. Why not just say that?

Indoctrination 101, Chomsky said many things things US academic system

jews would figure something out if it was worth that many shekels

That pic really sums it up. I might get some cash in a few months, if i do I am leaving the USA.

there is just no humanity among US nazi scum

The issue is where would you go. Its either other US bootlickers or learn Chinese.

There is nowhere to go

Yeah well at least we're good at something.

I'm thinking South America. Comfy little place in the middle of nowhere. If the entire Northern Hemisphere nuke the shit out of each other, they would barely even notice. No food scarcity either.

Because the number is completely garbage to begin with. $10,000 quadrillion genuinely sounds more that $10 quintillion despite being the exact same number, because when you get to numbers that size, most people don't have a frame of reference.

As for why it's garbage, these pieces are written by journalists who have no fucking idea about economics and don't factor in what an absolute glut of supply does to price.

gorillion bucks and gorillion dead goys? i'm in

$10,000 quadrillion

What turd worldie wrote that slop?

Time for neoliberal fairytales!

Oh shit, I didn't see the commies were here. Should have gone with this version instead.

You hairless apes and your obsession with material things

Should have gone with this version instead.

impotent? what? just look how jews fucked gaza. pretty potent genocide!

What if

It won't

2025 and niggers are asking why we aren't mining asteroids yet

The first commercial flight was in 1914 you eskimo porchmonkey faggot. It wouldn't be until '39 that the first jet engine was designed. And yet you think we should've been space mining for 100 years.
Ok. You row first shift, captain retard, once we make it to the stratosphere I'll take over.

shekels

Coin Clipping! Just send small craft to take what they can from it until we can afford to build stronger ones until we can just take the whole damn thing

just don't go to the tip of chile, it's too close to antartica and that's where the nazis will be fighting out of.

AGGRESSION IS A FIRST SIGN OF IMPOTENCE, ITS A FIRST SIGN OF SOMETHING THAT ALREADY FAILED IN MANY WAYS

and everyone can see it now, US seized to be an example, "FREEDOM" seized to be an example, your version of reality seized to be an example

what does that say about long term stability of the US?

I wonder if we could attract it with magnets and drop it on the middle east.

Is it worth ten thousand quadrillion dollars or ten thousand dollars quadrillion? Who is the retard who wrote that?

We will free u from being so dumb

Then what? All of that money could very easily lead to hyperinflation

give it to israel, no inflation!

a modernized Orion project

Correct. You just nuke the shit outa the damn thing, ffs!! Alright, just kidding, mine the damn thing locally. Sure takes less mass than all the nukes required for relocation. Also fuck Earth, got food at home. This stuff makes more sense to go into offworld projects ...

thats not going to happen, bullies are not welcome!

China knows much better how to not impose itself on others while sustain a high level of cooperation.

China knows that SAFETY is much much much higher through mutual economic profit not economic slavery and barbaric warmongering.

ITS THAT EASY.

Pastor told me space isn't real

Fake and gay
The earth is too large for a 10 mile wide asteroid to kill all dinosaurs.
If you believe it, you're a retard.

Nuke him too then. Only way to be sure. Idiot ...

Any opponents of the US would be more than happy to see it happen. Asteroid mining for terrestrial consumption is warp drive tier fantasy. So long as we're using conventional rocket engines you're going to spend more than double the value without even getting into the market effect issues of creating such a glut just bringing that mass into the earth's sphere of influence. Getting it down to the surface safely would probably cost half as much more. That shit's a pipedream.

are the dinosaurs still alive then?

Oh noooo, not le heckin economirinos!!!

How very jewish of you.

Try reading the entire sentence. I know you only have a tiny american brain and probably have been doped up to the eyeballs on "ADD" meds since you were 4 but give it a shot.,

it's theorized (by my asshole) that you can put very large objects in an earth-trailing orbit around the sun, such that it either remains fixed in one of the lagrange points or approaches earth at a low enough speed that doesn't directly destroy the earth when making contact, side effect would be the moon falling from it's orbit and breaking up, raining metors on the planet for a thousand years.

It's hilarious how many people with low IQ are here.
'America captured and brought this back' doesn't imply that America is going to capture the entire asteroid. We go there to mine the raw materials and bring them back to Earth.
You retards should be killed.

rolling

Even if you could alter its orbit, something that massive introduced to cis-lunar space would begin to disturb the Earth's orbit. Ignoring that for the moment, if you suddenly introduced 15 quintillion dollars worth of metals to the market, the economy would be destroyed. The only way you could do it is mine and refine it out there, then fly it back to Earth bit by bit, over time. In fact, at that point most of it would be used to produce things out in space, things that would likely never reach the surface of Earth. Things like ships, habitats, robots, solar collectors, and other machines.

thats how you reign in edgy grifters:

Hydroxyl is an anion not a molecule. Also it's worthess

Split it in half, drop one half on the muslim world and one half on India.

Space is not real

They STOLE our gold and then gave it to RUSSIA because of some commie nonsense. A reminder that russia owes us all that gold

the moon falling from it's orbit and breaking up, raining metors on the planet for a thousand years.

sounds comfy, when do we start?

Our gold

The Aztecs are dead and Mestizo rapebabies aren't entitled to squat.

oh, you mean like how the ancients captured THE MOON to terraform Earth

pluto not sniffing uranus

one job

NO FUCK NO; NOT LIKE THE MOON

I can’t find a clear answer on what metal it’s made of, but obviously that quantity of anything would devalue it. It would be a great resource as whatever metal is needed, but it wouldn’t change much

If this was physically possible, which it isn't, there is a bigger conversation of the physical impact of bringing outside mass to earth.
Burning oil is not really an issue because those were carbon atoms that were always in Earth's total mass. If you bring new mass to Earth you are adding to Earth's total mass which is effectively changing Earth forever. This sounds like a pussy environtmental scientist grift but it is an actual concern with heavy implications. Do we want to terraform our own planet?

What if America captured and brought this back and refused to share?

It could be done

controlled descent

I´d rather try lithobraking with that approach than a whole asteroid gravity assist. Might just be there are enough volatiles on-site to make a convenient heat shield that simply boils off on reentry ...

It would be hilarious if someone, knowing all about these treaties, just said fuck it and did it anyway. Just fully violate international law, and nothing bad happens because "yeah, he put nukes in space, but he used em for a good thing" and then what? They gonna arrest him?

good luck getting rich from it by not selling it.

The US or whatever company got it back would just sell it at a price nobody else could dig the stuff up on earth ensuring they were the go to source.
Everyone would have whatever they needed because that leads to maximum profit, new uses would be found so demand would spike leading to more sales.

Everyone is better off in the end.

We'll grab it, we've got some space that's full outback

People don't even comprehend how dangerous a semi trucks mass is. You think they can comprehend a 130 mile wide rock worth of energy?

Oh look, a retard!

Platinum group metals are highly valuable because demand far outstrips supply. Demand, son. People want it because it's useful, and simply as jewelry (which is a perfectly acceptable kind of demand- money is money).

Two of the most important industrial uses for Pt group metals, are electronics and especially catalysis. Bringing that rock back would absolutely tank platinum prices, but would open these industries wide up to use-based capitalisation.

*not simply

the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was like 10 miles wide or something.

prove it

We need to develop the epstein drive first and a reliable mechanic like pic-related.

based non-faggot vehicle.

We can deliver their cut at near-orbital velocity without intentional braking, anon.

What if America

America can't do shit
They don't even have hypersonic missiles, 10 years after the Russians and chinks perfected them
Stop dreaming.

Now that would not be nice. :)

our

Your particular chichimec tribe had a lot of gold, indio? Or do you claim Aztec ancestry and hence to have conquered a bunch of other natives, just not as well as the Spanish, you whiney faggot?

If I were in power in my country you can bet I'd make you president of the academy of sciences and my personal advisor.

we don't need to
we have nuclear submarines
go ahead and hit us, shits still launching

I don't think you realize how economy works (not that this really surprise me on Anon Babble anymore). Let's say you made this easily mineable, you would make the metals that are there worthless. If you mined it conventionally, tehy would probably cost more to mine, than the shit we've got on Earth, so the stuff mined would be more expensive

If the US is the only country with access to it, then we have it and you don't. It's worthless to us, but priceless to you. We'll get you to trade your own mother's asshole for it.

And risk something huge fucking the moons orbit?
Like the anon said. launch it into india. it maximises the beneficent value.

worth about 10,000 quadrillion (i.e. 10 quintillion)

USA would hand it over to Israel

You'd just crash your economy due to the supply being functionally infinite with current demand

We

you're a mutt nigger and you woulnd't trade shit. This is Israel's rightful clay
