So what I'm returning is worth a lot.

You may have seen, actually, there was a pretty famous article that came out, I think about three years ago right now, and it said there's a hundred quadrillion million, whatever bajillion dollar asteroid out there in the world.

It was referring to that asteroid Psyche 16 that I talk about.

Saying it and the fallacy with that article is it was just calculating the iron content on ash on on psyche Like you could put that same number on top of Mars.

It actually doesn't mean anything.

It's not economical to bring back I'm not trying to mine iron like irons essentially free on the planet, right?

The cost of iron is actually just the processing cost of it.

There's just plenty of ore everywhere It's putting nickel everywhere.

The thing we want to bring back is platinum.

So the way we do it is first off We have to land on an asteroid

Now, the trick to landing on an asteroid for us is these are primarily iron, right?

They're M-type asteroids or iron nickel asteroids, which means they should be magnetic.

So the way we land on it is, or I should say more dock with it.

I mean, try to imagine this, Sean,

At the biggest size, these are 400 meters in diameter, which in relative terms means they're tiny as shit in space.

There's really no gravity here.

You're not landing.

We can't even really go into orbit around these asteroids.

We almost dock with them like you would dock with the International Space Station.

And we use magnets to stick to them.
