It all starts with a curiosity; The mission to the asteroid Psyche

The asteroid Psyche is a giant with 210 km in diameter, it is known as the most valuable asteroid in the universe because it has gold, it has silver, platinum, but above all it has iron, a lot of iron, it is possibly the core of a protoplanet that was destroyed during the early days of the solar system.

The protoplanets and planets are differentiated by layers, the interior is differentiated by layers and the heavy elements such as metals are concentrated in the center, apparently there must have been a protoplanet or a small planet that was destroyed at that time and the asteroid Psyche could be the fragment of that nucleus, of that world, of that small world that was destroyed.

There is a ship that will arrive in 2026 and will be in orbit for 21 months taking images, photos and data about what is in that world, if it is true that there are so many metals and it is as valuable as they say because every time I read a headline about the asteroid Psyche they put more steel in it, the last time it was 10,000 quadrillion dollars, the value of things, including gold, also depends on what it costs you to extract it, and obviously if you want to extract gold from Even if you have a lot of gold, it will cost you a lot, because you have to build a spaceship and get there.

And since the asteroid Psyche, which is in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, must be extracted and brought to Earth, so in the end the gold you bring from Psyche may not be enough to pay for everything the mission has cost to bring it, so the value that many media outlets put on that asteroid is very relative.

That asteroid is interesting, especially it will be interesting in the future when space mining is something real, which, for sure, will be, for now, the one who will reach Psyche first will be the Americans and the NASA scientists will tell us what is in that giant asteroid with the Psyche mission in 2029.
