found by NASA orbiting Jupitor. The types of metals: nickel and iron. Like the core of planet Earth. So it could be the remnants of a planet.

The iron in 16 Psyche alone is estimated to be worth $10,000 quadrillion, if humans were able to somehow extract it and bring it to Earth, which sounds great, until you realize that the entire global economy is only worth $78 trillion. Injecting that much worth into the world economy would crash it...
this is why we can't have nice things

So you're suggesting selling minerals below market price but first you have to build a billion dollar rocket to retrieve said minerals.

I don't think you've completely through this through :owned:

Don't waste yout time. Here is what it most likely reads:
CLICKBAIT TITLE

When Quizmo Placeholder entered his garden, [... some personal entry point to the story ]

Santoz Merengue, Astronomer at the XYZ Institute of [... some hint at 'journalistic research' done by the author, CLICKBAIT is mentioned as unlikely by the scientist]

Back to Quizmo Placeholder [... closing the emotional parenthesis]

Scientists are undecided BUT still [... repeat CLICKBAIT]
