Question

Often thought of as useless hunks of rock or ice floating around space, asteroids

also have one giant, scary stigma attached to them: They could completely destroy our
planet. But some asteroids are also rich sources of precious minerals, like iron, platinum,
or gold.
It is thought that almost 10,000 asteroids near Earth have incredible mineral
potential, which gives more weight to the thought that our global debt could, in fact, be
wiped out. And considering the already high demand for such minerals, especially given
the outspreading of smartphones, computers, and as other technologies continues, the
desire for asteroid mining is even more alluring.
