TL;DR Summary
NASA has launched a mission to study the metal-rich asteroid 16 Psyche, which is valued at $10 quintillion due to its composition of metals like platinum and palladium. If hypothetically divided among Earth's population, it could make everyone a billionaire, though this would disrupt the global economy. The mission, using a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, aims to understand planetary cores and formation, with the spacecraft expected to reach the asteroid by 2029.
