The news published by "Emirates Today" about the asteroid full of precious metals, the most important of which is gold, which the US space agency "NASA" is preparing to explore, sparked mixed reactions among readers. It was devoid of any indication that it was approaching Earth, while others expected that no one would benefit from the gold asteroid because the price of the metal would become cheap.

In the readers' comments on the publication of the news on the "Emirates Today" page on the social networking site "Facebook", Hamdan Mosleh asked: "Where does it topple", while Nora Ahmed said: "This is the news that opens the soul", and Mona Ali similarly said: "I am I want to hear news from this at length."

A number of readers called for the asteroid to fall on their homes, and Samer said: "Oh God, the boundary of my house will fall." Nihal Ali said: "God willing, it will come down to me here."

Ahmed Issa saw that the value of most things is their meaning and availability, and if everyone has gold, the value of gold becomes like a bundle of bread. Likewise, Nader Sayed said: “Simply what made gold expensive, because it is rare, if there is a lot of it, it will not have value, and it will remain like sand on the street. ".

As for the funniest comment, it was made by Medhat Sobhi, who said: "The gold came down for two days, there are no asteroids in dollars."

And "Emirates Al-Youm" had reported on the British newspaper "Express", in which it stated that the US space agency "NASA" is planning to visit an asteroid of gold and precious metals, valued at 8,000 quadrillion pounds (a quadrillion = a million billion) that could make all the inhabitants of the Earth. billionaires.

The planet is called Psyche, and it is full of precious metals. The US space agency plans to launch a mission to the asteroid next year, but that mission will be to explore the origins of the solar system.

The newspaper stated that the asteroid discovered in the nineteenth century is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter and is said to be the size of Greece.

She explained that the asteroid consists of solid minerals including gold, platinum, iron and nickel.

It is estimated that the various minerals of the asteroid are worth 8000 quadrillion pounds, which is enough to make everyone on Earth today a billionaire, and the head of EuroSun Mining, Scott Moore, warned that the huge amount of gold in the asteroid could cause chaos in the gold industry. .

"The gold tycoons now control hundreds of the best real estate around the world, but the 4-5 million ounces of gold they bring to market each year pales in comparison to the conquests available in space," Moore was quoted as saying by the British newspaper.

It is scheduled that NASA will make the next trip to the asteroid for scientific purposes and does not plan to conduct any mining, and over the course of 21 months in orbit, the spacecraft that will land on the asteroid will work on mapping it and studying its properties.
