16 Psyche in the main belt could have over $10,000 Quadrillion Dollars worth of minerals.

Never mind the pleonasm "$ … Dollars", never mind improperly capitalizing Quadrillion Dollars— does "$10,000 Quadrillion" mean "$10 quintillion" or something else? or perhaps two things at once? I'd consult the source, but sadly none is in evidence. —Tamfang (talk) 06:54, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It was discussed in two different sections, so I moved out the one in the Martian section and merged the good parts of both. Jim.henderson (talk) 01:22, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Colonization?

Shouldnt this article be named "Settlement of the asteroid belt"? Because the article isnt about how to govern it like a colony. Nsae Comp (talk) 19:59, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I figure such a discussion belongs, if anywhere, in Talk:Space colonization. Jim.henderson (talk) 11:08, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
