the metallic 'M-class' asteroid 16 Psyche
M class, according to Star Trek lore, that means it has a gravitational field and atmosphere capable of sustaining human life.

Hope there is a lot of chromium, titanium, moly and copper too! With all those metals, it would be able to make a vast array of alloys - make a great starship-yard.

16 Psyche is the remnants of the core of the once inhabited planet between Mars and Jupiter. This planet was destroyed by invading aliens after receiving peaceful radio transmissions that revealed its location to the aliens.

First of all, it says a lot about America that they have to explain how to pronounce psyche.
Second, getting all that gold would make gold worthless.

Cool three-book series that delves into asteroid mining.
To: Terry Mross
So what is wrong with affordable gold being widely used?

Well, there goes the gold standard, down the drain.
Time for bitcoin I guess (ducks).

Ignorant people claim we are running out of resources.
There is a whole solar system of them waiting to be picked up and used.

What is most bemusing are the dim-witted comments.
Is it so hard to make the step from mining the rock, to using the material mined, right there, to build stuff, right there?
Yah know, when you have a planet's worth of rocks and minerals, and a star for power, perhaps slap together an O'Neil colony or 20?
But, they are Brits and Leftists. The Stupids. Perhaps we should just leave them behind, to rot in their own squalor...

Only if it is banned from importing it to the Earth, and is only used in space manufacturing only.

Gold is a better electrical and thermal conductor than copper. Big chunks of it might be, you know, handy, in solar orbit.
Just saying...

"Ignorant" means they can be taught. They are stupid.
Minimal intellect.
Leftists.
Democrats.
In fact, too stupid to know they are retarded.

Hoffman from Gold Rush will probably try to go to it and mine the Gold.
