They speculate that this asteroid is a ‘stripped’ planetary core, solid metal of some kind..............

“...a much bigger prize revealing how Earth’s origins.”
Leaving aside the poor grammar, I’d settle for the $10,000 quadrillion consolation prize.
To: Red Badger
No. I would say the $10,000 quadrillion is the greater prize, if it could be obtainable.

Methinks that if that much metal were to be dumped on the global market, the value of that asteroid would crash to below $1 quadrillion.
Barely worth the effort to go out and get it...

( is the /sarc tag really necessary?)
To: Red Badger
But... but... who would we sell it to? All those quadrillions of dollars need to come from somewhere, right?
Is there a galactic swap meet where we can offload it all quickly at 80 cents on the dollar?

If they can grab it and crash land it into DC, we’ll get a 2-for-1. :)

Any disturbing the asteroid would cause climate change or something. A dim judge would stop any attempt to do something useful.

It isn’t worth squat unless you can efficiently mine it and transport the raw material to Earth.
