On: Metal-rich, potato-shaped asteroid could be worth $10 quintillion (2022)

It wasn’t a crowd-winner, but I particularly enjoyed that episode of The Twilight Zone

You are referring to The Rip Van Winkle Caper [1] episode (S2E24). Gold, like gold, but that car design certainly was something else [2].

[2] at 1:26, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oj5Dfd0U0E8, from Wikipedia: "The futuristic car carrying the couple who find the dying Farwell is a leftover prop, somewhat modified, from MGM's 1956 film Forbidden Planet{[3]}.[citation needed]"

[3] Forbidden Planet, also one of the greats, in the 23rd century, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049223/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Yes that one exactly.

To anyone who’s interested in this comment thread: check out the episode.
