I've survived 20+ rounds of zombies on Moon, I'm sure I could handle 1 measly platinum asteroid.
 
Even if we hit a lick and yanked that thing outta space, wouldnt the sudden abundance of trillions of platinum on the market drive the price down?

Control the supply and you control the price.

Word to DeBeers
Yeah you got it. If the asteroid crashes in the U.S. Then the U.S. Would just have to control the supply that going to market. Sort of like Nike can flood the market with air Jordan 11's or they can limit the supply and make them sought after while having a steady flow of income for the foreseeable future
 
So stephen hawking and a russian tycoon put up 100 million to fund a search for aliens.


Monday, famed physicist Stephen Hawking and Russian tycoon Yuri Milner held a news conference in London to announce their new project: injecting $100 million and a whole lot of brain power into the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life, an endeavor they're calling Breakthrough Listen.

"We believe that life arose spontaneously on Earth," Hawking said at Monday's news conference, "So in an infinite universe, there must be other occurrences of life."

The more you learn about how big this universe it is, the more angry you get and letting yourself get so stressed over meaningless crap.

We're a tiny tiny tiny little speck in a massive Galaxy. It's scary, but it's also inspiring.

Get out there and live it up man. Life's too short.
 
Nasa has found another earth like world.

NASA's exoplanet-hunting Kepler spacecraft has spotted another Earth-like world. The space agency today announced the discovery of Kepler-452b, the smallest planet we've found yet orbiting inside a star's habitable zone — the places around a sun where it’s warm enough for liquid surface water. NASA researchers are dubbing Kepler-452b as Earth 2.0.

Kepler-452b is about 60 percent larger than Earth and orbits its parent star, Kepler-452, once every 385 days — just 20 days longer than Earth orbits the Sun. Kepler-452 is also a lot like our own host star; it's roughly the same size and temperature and only 20 percent brighter. Kepler-452 is also 6 billion years old, approximately 1.5 billion years older than our Sun.
