This Rare Asteroid Will Make Everyone Billionaire - NASA is Desperate to Capture This
Theoretically, this project has enough money to make everyone on Earth a billionaire and might provide priceless insights into the early development of the solar system. The mission of the spacecraft is to investigate the peculiar composition of Psyche, which is thought to be mostly composed of iron and nickel and may provide information on the constituents of planetary cores.
NASA sent a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket last month to 16 Psyche, a rare M-type asteroid in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter that is 2.2 billion miles away.
391 Million Kilometers Away from the Metallic World
Arriving at asteroid 16 Psyche in august 2029, the Psyche spacecraft will circle the metal body 391 million kilometers from Earth instead of landing on it. NASA's main goal is scientific, even if extracting its resources might cause the world economy to collapse by flooding markets with enormous riches. Understanding the asteroid's characteristics, the development of the cosmos, and planetary cores are the goals of the project. 16 Psyche may be the exposed core of a planetesimal, an early planetary building component that has had its outer layers removed by cosmic impacts, according to scientific speculation.
It is predicted that the 140-mile-wide asteroid 16 Psyche has a USD 10,000 quadrillion core of iron, nickel, and gold. According to nasa, it may be the fragmented core of a broken planetesimal, an early planet-forming component that presents a rare chance to investigate the cores of terrestrial planets like Earth, which are normally hidden beneath their crust and mantle. Earth-based measurements using radar and visible and infrared wavelengths show that Psyche has a potato-like uneven form.
