Different asteroid for illustration purposes :)

‘Platinum’ asteroid potentially worth $5.4 trillion to pass Earth on Sunday

One of the sickest things a human can do, is to keep treating everything as a resource for you to use up… all apparent lifeforms have a dollar value attached to them… .so do even asteroids… wow… maybe if more trillion dollar asteroids pass by, perhaps we can somehow pay off the debt with them…

RT: 

An asteroid believed to be carrying up to 90 million tons of platinum in its core, as well as other rare and precious materials, is about to swoosh past our planet. The news has left developers of asteroid-mining technologies intrigued.

The platinum-rich asteroid officially named 2011 UW158, is 452 meters by 1,011 meters in size and will pass Earth at a distance of an estimated 2.4 million kilometers, according to the Goldstone Radar Observatory. It will be 30 times closer to Earth than the closest planet of the Solar system.
