NASA’s upcoming mission to asteroid 16 Psyche could have groundbreaking implications for both planetary science and the nascent asteroid mining industry. Though valued at an astounding $100,000 quadrillion, the real treasure lies in the scientific insights it could offer.
While spectroscopy and radar provide limited clues to its composition, scientists believe Psyche could be made mostly of nickel and iron.
The mission aims to provide answers and potentially pave the way for profitable asteroid mining in the decades to come, while also highlighting the importance of equitable resource access for the global community.
