A Mission To Bring Home A Treasure: The Riches Of The Asteroid Psyche

- Can Psyche asteroid be mined? Do you have any idea how many and which asteroids have been visited by our interplanetary probes so far? Three, ten, a hundred? Can't quite remember? Well, no worries, we've got you covered. There have been a total of 17 (excluding trans-Neptunian objects visited by the New Horizons probe). Before we dive into the main topic of this fantastic video - which is the currently ongoing mission to the treasure trove that is asteroid 16 Psyche - we want to show them all to you, one by one...
Alright. The first asteroid to be approached and photographed up close was 951 Gaspra (12 km in length), which the Galileo probe flew by in 1991 at a distance of 1600 km.

All i know is that space mining is in our future!
Even if it were possible to capture these objects, the value of the minerals would plumet from over supply as soon as it was harvested. Lack of supply is what gives many of these minerals their value.
Exactly! If platinum were as abundant on Earth as iron, we wouldn't call it a "precious metal". It would be just another ordinary metal.
Why make quintillions when you can make quadrillions????
Simply control the supply. There are massive supplies of diamonds but they don't just hand it out. Have your cake and eat it too.
The value is not in bringing the metals to earth but to mine it to use the metals in space and not to build things on earth to use in space.
Bringing that to earth is a tall order. Any outer space object of that size is a threat.
Great video and information !
Recently, I came across a CZcams reel that the most valuable thing in the universe is the wood, seen only on Planet Earth.
and maybe even coal..
I know you see asteroid mining as not doable. Yet it is my opinion that mining in space will create an economy that will make going ever further into space worthwhile.
It's just my opinion and I get that.
I agree with you. We could completely master the solar system if we had the money to invest in the project, and we’d invest all the money we needed if people could turn a profit on their investment.

Thanks I so rarely get folks that are nice.
I have a vision of our exploration of our solar system as a benefit in many ways. Including medical and other technologies.
We have many problems here on our home world. It is my opinion that the advancements that will happen due to the expansion will help with home.
Note: that is a overly simplified way of saying it. Also we are going to need to make home better. Yet as thinking beings we should be capable of walking and chewing gum. 👈another overly simplified statement .
Please have a great day or night, whatever it is for you.
at one time NASA planned the Asterioid Re-Direct mission and bring to earth this space rocks but it got cancelled by cost issues. Mining asteroids can possibly happen in the future not with NASA but w/ the private companies who is interested in doing this one day
Whoever sets up a station on the moon first, wins lol
The redirect was the most economical concept to me. The company that’s serious about it only needs to be able to build the engine on earth for cheap. Get to the rocks, bring em back to the moon and then start mining there. Eventually u get to the point where the engines are built in space via 3D printing.
We close fam. Falcon was a huge step in the right direction for humanity.
It seems to me the ore would have to be refined and used in space. It could be used for space stations, ship building, foundries, etc. There wouldn’t be any safe way to get it to the Earths or other planet surface.
we cant mine and bring down as much as we can mine terrestrially and its value is tenfold in zero G - dont worry friend we at Megacorp got this covered!
I always wondered what would happen if a mostly gold meteor, let's just say 1/4 of the size of Mount Everest. Was to hit Earth. Would the fallout be a gold shower😅 no but seriously it would become molten and liquid rigt?
What the numbers in front of most asteroids’ names are for?
Create a grapple hook with small boost rockets that dig into the astroid
its a common misconception that the goal is to bring resources back to earth when in fact the real value is keeping it in space. Ideally somewhere near a lagrange point or other location where it can be value-ated by a fab
we advance so fast in everything but space
Over supply always leads to price crash!
If Psyche contain those precious metal and rare earth, it woul make more sense to use them for space construction. Because it would be probably more cost effective than digging Earth and sending the minerals into space.
How old such a huge hard asset effect the economic stability of fiat ?
Not a scientist, but why not crash them into the moon to reduce risk, then worry about transport back to earth (or manufacture on the moon for interplanetary missions)?
This is just hilarious. 😂😂😂😂 . Some people are so greedy, they even want to pillage space. 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Greedy that's all Think about it.
If you flood the market with such excess of material, you crash the market.
My favorite asteroid is Polymathis. The densest material known to man.
you expect me to believe a tiny craft can land on a asteroid that it traveling thousands of miles per second
Any type of ore like iron would heat up in atmosphere plop off the asteroid into a merky pond so would gold if any out there. Rare but possible if as in heaven so it was on earth. So I heard many weeks ago something plop not splash into pond . When storm seemed to mask something sounding like barreling thunder heading southward. Could have been other debris. Ocean mostly. I thought I seen a white thin man in pursuit. If whatever as my mind be read. Lol
A few centuries from now we could make it into a natural space station. We could make it rotate and create artificial gravity.
I'll come down soon
I’m no economist, but wouldn’t introducing such massive wealth as this into the world economies cause insane inflation? I mean, more money than we could think to do with would completely change the gold standard into this.. Or I’m completely wrong which, according to my girlfriend, happens a lot!
Inflation is typically associated with the devaluation of cash, due to oversupply, from too much printing. If a giant asteriod full of precious metals showed up, it probably wouldn't affect the value of cash but it could decrease the value of said precious metals if there is more supply than demand.
@@Viprz thank you 🙏
It also would not arrive all at once. We would need to develop and build a colossal amount of infrastructure to even start getting material out of it, which will be decades if not a century+ from now. This development itself would add to our economy. Then once the material gets extracted, the most efficient thing may not be to transport it back to earth but to use much of it out in space instead all the energy and effort it takes to get the stuff off planet
@@cjpolett2055 I agree. It will likely never be financially feasible to mine material in space and send it back to earth. Extracting outer space material for outer space projects seems to be the only realistic scenario.
No. It’s not worth anything like that much. This is click bait. Think this way. If tomorrow there were 100 times more gold than there is today what do you think would happen to the price of gold?
ownership and leverage , like the banks do now, land A beacon on it , you own it.Leverage it , you need not take it out of fort Knox in space!!
Supply and demand is laughing...
Actually it's worth $0. Unless you can capture it and mine it's minerals, process the ore and refine that into bullion. It's worth is absolutely ZERO.
Please use the Standard USA units of measure, km means nothing to me.
There must be Asteroids in
the Universe,that no one
could put a price on.
I should like to claim ownership
of all Asteroids in the Universe.
Should,being the operative
word.I see it is April Fools Day.
I have fooled you all.❤️😍😇😉❤️.
Is this all man can friggin think of? Money, greed, wealth? This planet is totally a runaway train!!! We're not progressing in any way😢
Oil riggs farm
Plenty of money for this to make more money ,,, but nothing for the homeless or people living in poverty ,,, great world we live in ,,,,, hope apophis come in 2029
Let them crash into the moon and then build up an industry there.

Wastage of time
don.t look up
If you managed to get that asteroid to Earth... It would actually lose value because the more you have of something the less it's worth.
So your title is very misleading and is not accurate at all. So for those of you reading this.. don't even waste your damn time on this video.
Why misleading? It s talking about the real value of this asteroid
