#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

That's it?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

It's pretty small.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

The shit's really dense.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

That's why it's worth a lot of money, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show

It's a very dense element that we're going after these six elements.

The Shawn Ryan Show

So it kind of works out perfectly to be the first one we bring back.

And then obviously, Sean, as we look at it, Platinum is where we're starting.

As prices change, as we're able to lower spacecraft, as we start thinking about things like, hey, we launch one at a time right now, what if we bought an entire Falcon 9?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

We could fit about 20 spacecraft on it.

What if we bought an entire Starship?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

We could fit, I don't know how many, but I'm sure it's a shitload of spacecraft on it, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show

And like, as these technologies advance and we get lower cost into space, we can do a lot more for cheaper.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

And then other metals start to meet that price threshold, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

You have indium, you have- Indium.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

Indium is an element that's in pretty high concentration on these metal asteroids.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

We have quite a few of the rare earth elements on these metal asteroids.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

You can look at nickel, you can look at iron, you can look at cobalt, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

You can look at these different elements and see when do they hit the price threshold where it makes sense to actually bring them back.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

Obviously, if our economy keeps expanding at that 3% per year as world GDP, as I mentioned, we're going to have to push out.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#226 Matt Gialich - Debunking Aliens in the Ocean, Mining Asteroids and Black Holes

We're going to use everything here.
