Description: The private Space Race is a fascinating phenomenon to watch, for many more reasons than just seeing billionaires blasted over 60 miles from Earth. As spaceports proliferate and newer and bigger rockets roll out, it is inevitable that even more attention will go to those gigantic nuggets of money floating around in space. Make no mistake, that’s what many asteroids are. $700,000,000,000,000,000,000 (700 quintillion) worth of iron, nickel, gold, and platinum in ONE chunk alone. And yes, the exact number is debated, but any estimate blows away our entire global economy. Does anything in human history make you believe that our space racers do not dream of mining these for immeasurable fortune? Of course not. Welcome to Factnomenal! In today’s video we dive into the fantastic possibilities of these celestial treasure chests within our reach, from funding space travel and science previously only dreamed of to erasing legions of humanity’s ills.
