considering bringing back 5.2grams from extreme near earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu cost $179 000 000 and took 6 years I'd say it would be very bullish

retard confirmed.

This is the Hayabusa2. It was built by Japans best and brightest over the course of 4 years.
It was launched in 2014 to collect 5.4 grams of surface dust from extreme near earth asteroid 162173 Ryugu.
Hayabusa2 returned to earth on december 6th 2020.

The cost to bring 5.4 grams of surface dust from an asteroid that is so close it's basically licking the earth was $179 000 000.
That's $33 150 000 per gram.

The distance from earth to 162173 Ryugu is 95 400 km.
The distance from earth to Psyche 16 (believed to contain gold) is 278 653 850 km.

It took Hayabusa2 4 years to take and deliver samples from 162173 Ryugu --- Psyche 16 is 2920 times further from the earth.

It would take 17 520 years for Hayabusa2 ($179m) to deliver 5.2 grams of gold from Psyche 16 to earth.

Have fun with your asteroid mining, anon!
