Why NASA Wants To Mine An Asteroid Full Of Precious Metals Worth $700 Quintillion | Mach | NBC News
A couple of those could pay off my student loans
If they mine this asteroid for gold and platinum, then college tuition will go up.
There are few affordable options for medical school in the US. I went where I got in.
I actually looked into that. They require you to work for them for every year of medical school they paid. The lost salary versus working at a hospital is higher than the amount of tuition they paid for you. 🧐
not actually, if so much gold were to become available the value of gold will be as good as iron.
With enough platinum, we could make every vehicle a hydrogen powered vehicle keeping people moving while cleaning the air at the same time for space dirt cheap.
GamingTV since our current cars & vehicles always do that with combustible fuels...
@GamingTV I'd take that chance. Cars are only getting smarter and the environment is only getting worse. I'd take that chance. I'm pretty sure most people, given a chance to think post their fears, would take that chance.
So what I'm really trying to get at here; what I want you to know, personally, man to man, girl to girl, caca a peepee, is that I would probably be cool with that happening for reals
Mining a Godamn asteroid isnt cheap moron
Yeah but that wouldn’t make money for businesses who depend on us to buy gasoline cause the things holding us back from progression are the things we chase after “money”
@killzone player and its price will be reduce to dust. Also it will destroy world's economy because its based on gold. RIP
700 quintillion assuming that it would stay there on the rock and it could never be traded. Flood the market with that much platinum? It'll be cheaper than brass.
700 quintillion and a can of Spam!
Either way noones sharing anything
Or you can control supply like diamond
Aside from the monetary worries, I think it'd be great to have a better supply of these precious metals.
Certain technology and engineering feats that are currently out of reach or extremely difficult due to the
short supply of these materials would become much more viable.
Plus, any sort of industry that becomes a reality in space would just bring our civilization that much closer
to actually becoming a space-faring society. With eventual profits would bring incentive to begin working on
establishing permanent settlements either/both on future space stations or asteroids within their vicinity.
While they may lose their value, they could be very beneficial considering out constant use of limited metals. We could always purposely make it rare like we do now with diamonds to regulate it's value.
Lithium will be fine ...
@@Haxxer82 It would actually be a very good thing if they lose their value because that would make everything cheaper, creating a sort of ripple effect in the world economy. The only bad possible outcome of this could be the waste generation magnitude of times greater than on earth.
@@AK-po1eoI can't wait till it goes down. So when a solar storm from the sun hits the mining operation and shuts it down. The price will go right back up. Earning me pennies on the pound.😂😂
Probably after this misson, nasa manages to mine gold, gold becomes cheap....Imagine you bequeath gold for your great grand kids...only for them to curse you when they realise it's value was lesser the fare the spent to get to the bank....
This asteroid is just what we need if we are ever going to construct anything major in outer space. The cost of taking materials off planet will prevent us from taking that approach. It is my hope that this asteroid is tagged for use by earth as a world project and never get into the hands of individuals who will use it to make themselves richer.
I don't know how much actually is 700 quintillion, but it sounds like that's the amount enough to make something precious into >>> common. So the rich would actually not want anything precious that they have turn into common.
We haven't even discovered the whole earth yet
@@hpmc7426exactly
They might say that to not bring anything back but do you know more than what they are telling us
For Rock and Stone!
To say NASA just wants to study that Meteor and not mine it is like making Count Dracula in charge of 70 story high warehouse that's 5 miles long fully stocked with fresh blood but simple wants to do "research" with it
This would crush the gold market. Nobody talks about that. WAKE UP!
I think NASA needs some deadly Brain to do great epic works as it's new commanding officer.
If it's worth more than the worlds economy, who can afford to buy it?
"your total comes to 700,000,000,000,000,000 without tax."
If that happens then value of gold will go down drastically
Who cares?
@@yangsrealm2536 Many peoples lives depend on the resource trade. I think we should cut funding to NASA
@@dogecoinmax2862 yeah, but you’re printing money with paper (trees) and if we found a space rock that had quintillions of dollars worth of gold on it that would completely crash the stock market, obviously a lot more money would be printed because of that.
So basically we’d be ruining our most valuable asset which is trees (life/agriculture) to print money, to resemble wealth which is based off of gold which we have more than we know what to do with.
for its growing demand and abundant utility gold is overpriced, lowering the price of gold will be good for all of humanity collectively
@@Jarheads4Yeshua lol, not at all. More than the rich will be affected the poors who have coverted most of their paper money to gold, or has just gold in the name of family wealth are going to simply suffer terribly.
If "aliens" haven't picked this rock up yet. We all need to come together and get this rock/ mulla asap
Finally.. I too can afford a solid gold toilet..
Yeah I can’t wait to have a gold toilet my brown toilet needs to get replaced and probably is about to break at any second it was just white four days ago. My family is saying I have cholera but that’s not the case
@Soumen Asteroids have tons more minerals than earth. Gold is pretty common on most asteroids. One expedition there, and msot metals will be practically worthless!
@Soumen Currently, no. It would be hella expensive. But its expected that as asteroid mining becomes more common, the price for such trips will lower significantly over time.
ROCK AND STONE BRODAS.
that much will have a huge impact to the value of gold on earth
Imagine you lived in the middle ages and this just landed on your farm
That’s a good idea. We should do it as a world effort with other countries and just pay the workers the supplies come from the planet and we shouldn’t have to pay for the resources to space travel cuz it will benefit our planet and species
ROCK AND STONE BOYS
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE!?
$700 quintillion dollars what is there to explain?
Pamela Homeyer, we should have an opt-out for taxes at this point.
That's before taxes, after taxes it comes to .... $700 quintillion ∑ k = 0 m k n − 1 = B n ( m + 1 ) − B n n. {\sum _ {k=0}^ {m}k^ {n-1}= {\frac {B_ {n} (m+1)-B_ {n}} {n}}} The first few values are: ∑ k = 1 m k = m ( m + 1 ) 2. .......... That comes to $72.50 ..... per household.
Interesting video but the music sounds like it's playing backwards.
And now nasa discovered something worth 10 quintillion, this might solve poverty if they can figure out how to get that money.
We're all rich, we'll never have to work again ..... uh?
NASA isn’t the only one that wants to mine a asteroid!!!!
Perhaps it would be a good idea to create a space based trading post?
no, thats a dumb idea
@@reecem367 ok then I must have a 7-11 in downtown Beijing. sg .
@@oamuamuaofficial2196 👍
..with an intergalactic bar like in Starwars😂
Bringing gold and diamonds from asteroids would collapse the economy.
Everyone will receive $93 Billion dollars if these catch these expensive astroid
That's nothing you should see what is out there it would scare you it's so awesome God is amazing
Imagine if NASA found a metal capable of surrounding a super quick space-craft. Both light and strong, then we may check out nearby stars. You don't eat these DJ Digital.
I hate when people call lives that live out of earth “Aliens” like bruh can’t y’all come up with a better name??(this comment came up from a video that was under this one)
Harvesting metals. Sure. More like advanced technology.
If that amount of Gold came into the world economy the value would collapse
This is straight up the plot of don’t look up
Dwarves slowly looking over* WERE RIch! WERE RICH!
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE!?
ROCK AND STONE BRODAS.
Might be worth funding NASA and Space force now! Spend 100 trillion to get a quadtrillion back! Build the spaceship, protect the assets! At the same time innovate the human spirit of exploration and greed!
Enceladus ..... there's yttrium , electrum, iridium, scandium, gold, and dozens of "other metals" unknown in ground-based metrics. More often man has his quests for wealth set on known metals but the metals of abroad origin provide the means to construct shift shaping vessels that can traverse the singularity point of Phoenix A. Enceladus is a wonderful haven for the infinite voyage
Nasa couldnt mine their own nose for precious metals,let alone an asteroid.
I sugest changing the orbit of a small asteroid to crash into one of earths deserts...
It's a great idea. It'll do wonders for funding space exploration and provide materials for building in space. If I were NASA, I'd build a refinery and manufacturing facility in space with money from some of what was mined and keep the rest in space for construction materials for future projects. It's time we stopped pussyfooting around in space. It's pathetic, we landed someone on the moon and haven't done much more since. We fund pointless wars overseas rather than funding progress toward the next step in the future of mankind.
Our only space station is nothing more than a cramped shelter. We need to get building. Imagine the bulk of our population, at least the cities, becoming spacers and the wonders that would do for Earth's ecosystem. ^_^
Knowledge of the earth's core? Forget that! Give me a piece of that $700 Quintillion!
the basic underlying meaning of this video is that the private space industsry will soon control the value of gold, silver, and platinum. Be weary people not saying this generation but soon to come.
If someone have that astroid thats gotta be the man riches in the planet
Candace Yvonne Johnson keep 0:44 $700qt qd
If we replaced all our copper wires with gold, our power saving issues would be solved for at least another 200 years
Of course, if you dumped that much gold on the market you would destroy the savings of many retired peraon.
One word- options.
Kick start more Industral markets
I have an idea if this come successful, anyone can do mining on an asteroid
You some of the value by bringing the material to earth. Its easyier to build ships in space but theirs no metals besides what we bring. I say turn it into a ship foundry
That would make gold a
nd silver worthless.....unless they use it vs making it in monetary.
Just like crypto...those excess coins need to be burned off.
BITCOIN SUPPLY LIMITED DOGE SHIB ETHER SUPPLY UNLIMITED (2) BUY BITCOIN SELL ALTCOINS
Quintillion and quintillion dollars business waiting lists
700 quintillion Zimbabwean dollars
It requires a lot fossil fuels
The CORE of a planet!?
Vera Lenora, the picture of the core is a lie nobody's got there! Its fiction....
ye
First come first own it
Come to find out its really Elon Musk using NASA as an UBER to get there
How can you bring an asteroid to to Earth
Would there be cgi ???
Its all about money. And mining asteroids and comets is dangerous to earths 8 billion injabitants. Do you think that would stop the greedy ?
If you guys get this asteroid from space and you bring it down to United States can you pay off my mortgage on my house
Deep space mining. What else is that related to? *nudge *nudge #DeadSpace 😆😎
I don't think any Nation should be able to harvest materials and profit from anything from space. This could be the beginning of something great for humans if we find a way to share space maybe we could find a way to share our planet a little better#optimistic
Space exploration should have been resource driven decades ago. Society doesn't advance on "don't touch the grass" signs.
The haven't been to the moon yet so good luck!
Next year
It would collapse world economy easily
no, hoarding gold doesn't produce any value
Hoarding gold isn’t producing any value
The same goes with everything else except other stuff currencies lose value .
@@doubleaa658 no , using stupid rocks like platinum to make electronics creates value
How would that not crash the global commodity markets?
Fake news
What we need is oil, so mine Mars, there maybe oil there.
I own some now would be nice if someone got in touch with me
Lmao who priced this thing?
me :)
That could easily pay off the National Debt. ($28 trillion)
What debt ** cough cough**
Hello I'd like to share that I'm here in Pocahontas Arkansas 613 Carroll Street I'd like to share that I have this find mineral with various other substances such as antimatter I am seeking help to further these teachings that we have been able to discover if anyone would please help further this message this would be great for our health and well-being
Who came here after seeing #DontLookUp ?
The one that gona hit and distroy all world 2036? 😂
And hòw will they get it back to earth? Stop waisting the money of the normal people on earth,pleàse!
think of the infiltration
Kamu mahu teras astroid Dan planet..kamu mahu kawal kuasa senjata..
Why I want to say that 'the reason NASA wants to do this is in the title':
Irrelevant.
Use the metals to make the technology y’all.
Nah
They we're too greed to share money
iridium paladium!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah right - NASA (Never A Straight Answer) can't even go back to the moon.
If I can't eat it or drink it it technically has no value to me.
But a small chunk would be nice.
Uh huh sure only food and drink has value to you, thats why you paid money for those clothes, sunglasses and headphones right???
You can eat gold
With these minerals who knows what we could build tho
So the god of chaos wont hit the earth
I heard Anthony Scaramucci mention this a few days ago. I still find it unrealistic to be mining on asteroids before we solve our plastics and pollution problems on Earth.
I don't think we should care at all about the market. For resources in space we should definitely get together with all nations to mine and distribute based on what the countries actually use in consumption, and based on that consumption would be their contribution, and therefore could keep the market steady through releasing of raw materials according to consumption. Of course that would take a treaty of all nations though, which is unlikely to happen.
One of the bigger key items here is finding a habitable planet so that we can use that as a potential farm planet. Sooner or later there will be too many people, China and India continue to increase their populations, some African Nations are actually coming up on the US population, and we will run out of resources sooner than we probably expect. This all definitely needs to happen soon, we need to become space faring way quicker than we are now, and on a treaty with all major nations that could contribute to it.
We ain’t no commies
The earth is *flat.*
You guys believe this crap hahahaaaaaaaaaa
Capppp
R🤑
Fake
Omg leave the thing alone ! Thats why we dealing with the extreme climate changed now ! Russia and everybody else digging in the artuc. Wonder if thats the reason we have so drastic climated changed ?
Y'know if companies began mining asteroids for their metals instead of earth, we'd see less poullution and have less global warming. We should move our operations to space and halt our operations on earth.
People who say (like NASA ) that asteroid mining will give us a few quadrillion $ should go do it .... Why we spending trillions on nuclear weapons??? Sign of intelligent life on earth ??? LMAO
