Wassonite will be found to be the essential ingredient for FTL drive, or if the look carefully, transwarp multiverse traction engines which will yield speeds in excess of 200 lights per hour.

Not soon enough. Asteroids have plentiful minerals that are rarely seen on earth - particularly platinum group metals necessary for sophisticated electronics.

We have the technology, and should go for it.

A variant of Wassonite formed from three elements: sulfur, titanium, and two lithium atoms has long been known to have remarkable properties in transforming huge quantities of energy to perform work. We just need to modify the Wassonite into Dilithium Crystals and we'll never again need OPEC oil.

It *looks* like a Lazyboy recliner, but I’d never take that for granite.

This looks like a case of CYA to me.

People say the earth is billions of years old.

Others say it is 6,000 years old.

Who’s to say creation isn’t still going on?

Looks like it will remain a mystery...if it fell through his roof, there should be a huge hole there...and lots of debris from the smashed ceiling. Hoax?

It’s part of a rock slide and the entry point through the wall is deliberately off-camera.(?)
