Scale that up/ There’s a billion dollars buried in Antarctica. You have the gps coordinates. All you gotta do is go get it...

Can’t scale it up. Should scale it down. Not sure if you’re unaware of the costs or are ignoring the because science fiction appeals to you
Scale it up to a billion but then you have to scale up the cost of getting there to about $100,000,000,000,000

A little economic education:

Cost of the Apollo pgm in today's dollars $110 billion Total weight brought back 861 lb Now that's from the moon our CLOSEST neighbor but it still cost $127,758,420/pound returned. Now multiply that by 1600 distance ratio asteroid to moon and you get $204,413,472,706 per pound transportation cost. Something the space kadets gloss over.
