So I’ll take them off your hands now for $100 a piece...

“Could 16 Psyche make every person on Earth a billionaire? The space mining race is heating up.

16 Psyche is an asteroid full of metal in the asteroid belt that could be worth $700 quintillion.
NASA plans to visit 16 Psyche by 2026

good luck to calculate the cost to mine whatever metal and transport them back to the earth

The very name of the asteroid should at least be an indication that the OP will not become a space metal billionaire.

Could also just be a lump of Fe-Ni with gold deposits.
A celestial rock candy with ferrero rocher wrapping.

Just imagine how much it would be worth it were pure stainless steel!!!

Nuclear energy was supposed to be too cheap to meter.

Whew....Thanks Marc, I’ll ship all of mine to you... Can you PayPal me the money?

If this happened (not convinced in the least) - welcome to hyperinflation so intense you’ll think you were living in the Weimar Republic..

I'd rather a water resistant watch so we can go swimming on Enceladus.

Good thing we are off the gold standard

No worries, when my startup GravTech company perfects it's ReGrav Engine ("anti-gravity"), and I can get the hard field generators to stabilize (force field technology), we'll be haulin azzz back and forth from that asteroid dozens of times a day.

Now, if I could just figure out how to manipulate and harness gravity....any ideas gentlemen?

Did you know, that before Isaac Newton discovered gravity, humans could fly??? (Thanks, Newton!)

All jokes aside (sort of), I am hesitant to believe that NASA will be able to get there in the next 10 years considering they don't even have their own shuttle program and have to hitch hike into space.

Careful. The last guy who said something to that effect got burned up in a capsule shortly thereafter.
