If you're wondering just how much 3 trillion dollars is, well that's like the entire cost of the Iraq War there in one rock. Hell, you could buy Alaska and still have like 2.5 trillion to spare.

This is the ridiculousness of the arguments against advancing space exploration and technology, because there's more gold in one rock than in the entire world. That's not to mention, there's predicted to be asteroids containing mostly platinum and even more precious metals. For an asteroid of similar size to 433 Eros containing only 10% of its mass as a rare-precious metal like platinum, well that's when you get the capability to buy out the entire planet.

So I call 100% ******** on people claiming there's no economic incentive in space exploration. There's more precious metals than anyone has ever dreamed of, there just needs to be a little spending to get it. Once companies like Virgin and all the other ones trying for space flight and then lunar orbits, it isn't going to be long before one of them figures out they can get to a rock like Eros and mine the hell out of it."

Can I opt for BOTH-- the money and the Honey?!!

But truly, deepest long-abiding Happiness IS finding your True Love. When my Venus 'feels' fulfilled and Happy inside, abundance runs-over like a fountain spilling over the edges of chalice.

Money-itself is subject to 'natural' waxing and waning over periods of time in a partnership's life. What's important is finding a partner you can Trust. That way you BOTH work your hinny's off with equal stores of Happy with whatever-you-got.

For me, just gotta find someone who doesn't go all ~greedy when it comes-- then betrays me. (That was the past.) When I'm married to the Right partner in Business, who has excellent values and high integrity++++, there's an 151 Abundantia 9.05' Gemimi of Love (with its natural shares of good 3258 Counselman and 4104 Alu 9.24' difficult situations from time to time). SUN Gemini 7.50, h22 Priapus 8.28'... 1981 Midas-touch 10.12 and you'll feel like a 4150 Starr 11.29 Gemini, just before the Gemini 7th House cusp 11.30' which quintiles Pluto Leo 0a...

If I'm energetically pulling it in (~or not) WITH you, then you gotta share! No more of 1208 Troilus 9.20' Gemini H6taur (betrayals, and turning against).

(~Hey, I'm just looking at my chart here!! ...)
