Asteroid Named Psyche 16 Is Made Of Enough Gold To Make Everyone On Earth A Billionaire

Mission to rare metal asteroid could spark space mining boom

“Psyche is a huge asteroid, and if it’s all highly concentrated metal, then yes, that’s an exorbitant amount,” Abbud-Madrid said. “But obviously if you bring back such a large amount, the market value will go down.”

That should not be a concern.

Your city farming idea is not workable. Land in cities is very costly. And farming requires a large amount of land.

Look through the below links from Venezuela. The first is a podcast. Please mind that Venezuela is currently under troubles :

Vertical farming won't reduce the cost that much, either.

The cost of food ??

Any actual "Smart City" that has been promised by the Modi government, should have Urban Farms and Vertical Farms.

Read the links. Will try the podcast later. It looks like the city in question had a large amount of free land. You won't find that in Indian cities. Most areas are heavily built up and overpopulated. You will have to plan a new city to accommodate urban farming. Though I don't think it is required. Farming can be done in the suburbs and villages.

A typical city is not very large. Cities can have better infrastructure because the infra needs to cover a smaller area with a high population density. Think of cities in Western Europe. If you start wasting space on farms, you will likely be at an economic disadvantage, as your infra will become less efficient.

(Cost= I was talking about the cost of land.)
