Just one small space rock could earn cosmic miners a whopping £40 billion if they can figure out how to bring it back to Earth. THE global investment bank Goldman Sachs has claimed mining asteroids for precious metals is a “realistic” goal.
It has released a report exploring the possibility of using an “asteroid-grabbing spacecraft” to extract platinum from space rocks.

"While the psychological barrier to mining asteroids is high, the actual financial and technological barriers are far lower," the report said, according to Business Insider.
"Prospecting probes can likely be built for tens of millions of dollars each and Caltech has suggested an asteroid-grabbing spacecraft could cost $2.6bn."
The bank added: "Space mining could be more realistic than perceived."
It is believed an asteroid the size of a football field could be worth up to £40 billion.
However, bringing that much platinum back to Earth is likely to crash the precious metal market - and probably the rest of the economy with it.
Earlier this year, NASA said it was planning a mission to an asteroid so valuable it could cause the world's economy to collapse.
Opinion: The NWO Global cabal of rich elite already have their own spacecrafts and have been secretly launching to space for years.

Interesting idea, but if they bring that much platinum back to earth it would not be that scarse any longer and the price would plummet?

I think the global cabal of secret elite NWO leaders are smart enough to stash their loot and only release to the world market based on demand and how much they need to control the world market at that particular time.

the thing is
astronomers would notice that

if the economy can crash by getting more materials to earth we need to completely re-design our economy.

I just think if the old Soviet Union can launch a woman to the dark side of the moon and hide it for many years, the same can happen anytime. NASA/DOD has secret launches out of North Dakota regularly. I also think the global cabal of secret elite NWO leaders are smart enough to stash their loot and only release to the world market based on demand and how much they need to control the world market at that particular time. We have to ask ourselves as humans thinking as a whole... Why haven't we already traveled further into space? We're still mainly driving rubber tired cars instead of already transporting ourselves in personal flying machines taking us places faster. My point is humans are being held back as a whole while these secret societies move forward.
