NASA headed towards giant asteroid that could make everyone a billionaire
- ziddoap 7y ago>could make everyone a billionaire Hmmm... How does that work? It doesn't seem like it was covered in the article... >In total, it's estimated that Psyche's various metals are worth a gargantuan $10,000 quadrillion. That means if we carried it back to Earth, it would destroy commodity prices and cause the world's economy – worth $75.5 trillion – to collapse. Is it really too much to ask for a headline that describes the story rather than this outlandish nonsense? Ahh, forgot it was one of the *ox networks.

- ziddoap 7y agoI hadn't taken the time to look for every instance of this story being brought up across the net. I was just making a comment on the original posters linked article. Next time I'll be sure to research and list more outlets before posting. Plenty of blame to go around!
- gus_massa 7y agoI just noticed because I posted a similar comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20284363 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20284363 and I just saw a similar title in a major newspaper here in Argentina. Many newspaper just cut&paste whatever news reach the redaction with whatever stupid title they get. Just another: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/9378480/giant-golden-asteroid-psyche-61-billionaire-nasa-2022/ https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/9378480/giant-golden-asteroid-... Most newspaper blame https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-Golden-Asteroid-Worth-700-Quintillion.html https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-Golden-Astero... as the original source.
