The year is 2089. EROS 433 has been chosen as the first asteroid to be mined for it's precious metals. This would later go down in history as the beginning of the 'galactic gold rush'.
// EROS 433 | Eros was discovered on Aug. 13, 1898, by Gustav Witt. Size of Eros: 33 km x 13 km x 13 km, Approximate mass: 7.2 x 10^15 kg
// Platonic Pleasures | The closest approach of Eros to Earth in the 20th century was on January 23, 1975, at approximately 0.15 AU (14 million miles/22 million kilometers).
// Precious metal | A rock thrown from the asteroid's surface at 22 miles/hour (10 meters/sec) would escape into space.
// You can't afford this | In the 2,900 cubic kms of Eros, there is more aluminium, gold, silver, zinc and other base and precious metals than have ever been excavated in history or indeed, could ever be excavated from the upper layers of the Earth's crust. At today's prices Eros is worth more than $20,000bn.
