So you’re saying WolframAlpha is wrong?

ETA: Or, we’re both right. You’re using long scale and I’m using short scale. I’m not sure which scale is being referred to in TFA.

Just using scientific notation would make things a shitload clearer.

Nope. Just like this one - we’re looking at the value of the minerals.

Mars is not worth $14,000. Hell - I’ll buy it at that price. Charge Musky a high rent - but no sale. Can’t let the riff raft get a foothold.
