Huge asteroid with $5 trillion worth of platinum to pass by Earth

Space travel is expensive.

I once heard an expert say that if there were gold bars on the moon, and all we had to do was to go and pick them up, we'd go bankrupt trying to do it.

@Slav Defence Sir, are derogatory remarks against USA allowed but not against Pakistan? Can you please clarify the policy for my benefit. Thanks.

You have ''report'' button.Go ahead and shoot your point.

I thought it would be pertinent to report a TTA to the Chairman TTA and request a clarification of the policy first, in the interests of keeping everything friendly and polite.

It is a direct threat. It therefore needs freedom and human rights.

Badass? Perhaps more than freedom, the comet needs Martial Law then? Or toilets? Or a Chinese buffet? Or a Turkish kebab shop? No?

Martial law?? are people on the bloody asteroid fed up of democracy to the point that they'll distribute "mithayi" ? BRING IT RIGHT THE HELL ON!
toilets?? are we sure we talking about Pakistan here??
Chinese buffet??? why not?
turkish kebob shop?? we make our own way better than them

Star gazers are in for a treat, as a huge asteroid is set to pass by the Earth at 11 p.m (London time) on Sunday.

People in India can watch it live on the internet at 4 a.m. on Monday.

Asteroid UW-158, with a 90 million tonne core, is expected to contain $5 trillion worth of platinum. It will be 30 times closer than Earth’s nearest planet.

Slooh, a project which links telescopes to the internet, will broadcast images from an observatory in the Canary Islands, volcanic archipelago off the coast of northwestern Africa.

“It’s always fun when an asteroid fly past our world. Slooh will be watching live when UW-158 passes 30 times closer to us than the nearest planet, on July 19,” Slooh Astronomer, Bob Berman said.

“What makes this unusual is the large amount of platinum believed to be lurking in the body of this space visitor. Perhaps it could be mined someday, not too far in the future,” Berman asked.

Asteroids like UW-158 are defined as ‘X-type’ by Planetary Resources, an asteroid mining company.

And we are supposed to make sense out of this comparison ? The nearest planet is not even identifiably visible to naked eye.

Why can't we bring it to earth like in Africa where there is no population. I am sure it will be good for all of us.

I sincerely hope that was sarcasm.

World full of banyas!
They measured worth of an asteroid!!

Why did you quote me?

What you peddle as sarcasm, seems more like idiocy. Unless ofcourse you are mentally a 5 year old just learning to form sensible sentences.

I believe most Indians here are younger than that.....

Any such project will need a faster propulsion system. NASA is working on EM drives, although still far away from warp drives:
