NASA’s Psyche mission is on its way to study a metal-rich asteroid worth an estimated $10 quintillion — enough to make every single person on Earth a billionaire. The asteroid, named 16 Psyche, orbits between Mars and Jupiter and is believed to be the exposed core of an ancient protoplanet.
Instead of gold rush dreams, scientists are focused on the asteroid’s composition of iron, nickel, and precious metals, which could reveal secrets about how rocky planets like Earth were formed. But if its resources were ever mined and brought back, it could upend the global economy overnight.
