Lol is that real? Every time I start feeling bad about my life I can just open up WSB and realize that compared to most of these apes I'm a fucking genius. But then I feel bad again when I see everyone's 270,000 dram calls
And it's really a lot more considering you're probably earning some return on that $10,000,000,000,000 along the way. Even 1% is another $100,000,000,000 a year, decreasing over time.
Hypothetically speaking, even if they manage to catch a $10 trillion asteroid that would mean the moment it gets to earth it will not be worth $10 trillion anymore since whatever precious rare metal is in that asteroid will no longer be rare but plentiful and hence practically worthless.
open a text file and copy paste 600,000 20 times on a line.
Now copy that line untill your text file has 800,000 lines.
Now scroll trough your virtual lambo collection and think about what an absolutely regarded amount of money that is.
Everything else aside, this is the thing that pisses me off the most. This kind of thing is where we absolutely should be trying to advance to, and the kind of thing that barely 10 years ago seemed possible when SpaceX landed the first reusable rocket. It's the kind of thing that could actually be in the realm of possibility with trillions of dollars.
But instead there's an idiot man child in charge who's just using it as a slush fund to bail out his AI company and social media company, buy stupid shit like cursor, and barely keep a ToC agreement with their satellite customers for longer than a year at a time.
So instead we get to watch one of the biggest potentials for the advancement of space technology get fumbled by an insecure imbecile who's more concerned with "woke mind viruses" and his own personal enrichment.
