NASA wants to uncover the mystery behind the asteroid “16 Psyche.” that may contain a priceless treasure trove of minerals. “We’ve been to all the different planets, we’ve been to other asteroids. But we’ve never visited a body that has been made of entirely metal,” said Carol Polanskey, project scientist for the Psyche mission. Now NASA, led by researchers at Arizona State University, plans to send an unmanned spacecraft to orbit 16 Psyche – an asteroid roughly the size of Massachusetts, made of iron and other precious metals. The mission’s leader estimates that the iron alone on today’s market would be worth $10,000 quadrillion.

    My post above was not offtopic. *Harrumph!*

    Now, Niggers, are offtopic and will be for the next 1.5 days because we will see nobody except righteous-but-mislead Whites at the D.C. protests tomorrow. And that's a profound hypothesis because DC is full of Blacks, including Crack-smoking former-mayor Marion Barry. [wikipedia.org]

    Even if Soylentnews runs a story about it then, ni***rs will be offtopic, as there will be no Niggers. Or Bean**s. Just a handful of Whites fooled into bussing in or even flying there and then getting stomped-on by the Hells' Angels and their mamas. It will be Altamont 2.0! [wikipedia.org]

    Let the bloodbath begin.

      Dassa good point. If I was Black, I'd shouttat all my homies notta protest. Just to inflate the potential protest numbers online identifyin' ourseves as people of Color. Then remind my people, "Yeah, we lost, but at least we can turn the tables on Whitey and laugh at their White-on-White violence like they laugh at our Black-on-Black violence." Then us Blacks can sit comfortable in our scantless apartments laughing heartily smoking blunts and drinking Rossi wine while we watch White-on-White violence. 'Dose pussies ain't shit with'out us. Dey gon' get stomped-on from all-sides.

      Where yo safe space at now, White-boy? White-girl?
