Totally useless dead planet floating in space who cares bump....
Still think it'd be useless if it had a core of Unobtanium? Or Aurum? Plutonium?
Even large chunks of carbonaceous chondrite will have a leavening of metals that could prove useful.
The trick, as with everything in space, is getting there.

Of course. Homelessness is always the current or most recent Republican president’s fault.

And yet, no matter how long we count, we will never be able to count all of the planets and stars and prove it.
Never.

Or where ever you were going next at the very least. If we are already talking interstellar space, why bother coming all the way back here?
I'd still love to be the guy that finds the asteroid with the thick vein of platinum running through it. If people thought the gold rush to Cali was big...
