TL;DR Summary

NASA, in collaboration with SpaceX, has launched a mission to study the asteroid 16 Psyche, which is believed to contain valuable metals like platinum and palladium, potentially worth $100 quintillion. Although the asteroid's wealth could theoretically make everyone on Earth a billionaire, the mission's primary goal is scientific exploration. The spacecraft, launched in October 2023, will reach the asteroid in 2029 to help scientists understand more about the universe and the composition of celestial bodies.
