- Uncover the mysteries of Psyche, the metal monster beyond Mars! Join NASA's groundbreaking Psyche mission as it journeys to a unique asteroid, potentially the remnant of a failed alien world.
Its always cool to see a video about something I have worked on. I helped build the solar array on the Psyche Probe.
To avoid calling both Psyche, I hereby name it the Quintana probe
Very cool.
Earths gravity keeps the core hot.
Now that’s interesting.
NICE!
Always appreciate Simon's "this cool shit's in space, yo" energy.
That 'this might be a Rhino' drawing seems surprisingly close to the real deal for someone working off a description.
Yeah, I am genuinely impressed. So impressed, I decided to search if weird old pictures, drawn historically without ever seeing the subject Animal, had a place online...
And they do. Medieval animal artworks from manuscripts. My favourites so far are the grumpy oyster. The Elephant with a tornado trunk. And lets not forget Sea-Lion... Yes, it has a Red shaggy mane.

It was based on a badly stuffed rino skin.
Especially if you look at a Javan or Sumatran Rhino instead of a typical African rhinoceros. They have exactly the folds of skin and bumps shown in the artwork.
📍 UPDATES: (per JPL)
🔹Late Oct 2023 = successful test of magnometer with a no-noise result. Remain on to detect space weather and has already detected a solar eruption.
🔹08 Nov 2023 = successful test of 2 of the 4 ion thrusters
🔹14 Nov 2023 = success test of near-infrared laser communications
🔹Nov 2023 = power test of gamma-ray detecting instrument
🔹04 Dec 2023 = successful test of imager instrument, which consists of a pair of identical cameras and multiple color filters, captured a total of 68 images, all within a star field in the constellation Pisces.
Simon pin this comment please dude
BTW, they sent a cat video for the infrared communication test.
Ty. ❤
Thank you
The coms success will be a huge game changer for future probe communications. Glad it works well!
Whenever I think I'm subscribed to all of Simon's channels, I find a another new one 🤣
Simon makes me want to hurl. Every time I block any channel he is on I get fed another. 🤢🤮🤢🤮
How many there is?
Same this ones new though lol 😂
@@juhajuntunen7866like 12 😅
@@gregoriancatmonk6904this is his new channel
Just here for the Metal! 😎🤘🇨🇦🤘
"Metal Volcanoes."
Simon, STOP! I can only get so excited!
BY 2029, I fully expect Simon to have taken over all of CZcams.
It'll be him, Mr Beast and Joe Rogan fighting out for control
2027. Bet
@@leighpowell1062 it'll just be Simon
I for one welcome the coming of the Whistlerverse.
One can hope
Holy Crap!!!! New channel alert ⚠️
Let's ride🤟
Psyche launched Oct. 13, 2023, at 10:19 a.m. EDT from Kennedy Space Center
The Peirs Morgan dig was brilliant.
who? 🤷🏽
Cheap shot. Is there a personal grudge?

Brilliant! Thanks Simon & friends. On behalf of all Greek Speakers throughout all time - I deeply appreciated the cost and pain it took to pronounce this word correctly! Erististics for all!
I think simon has it set where it doesn't show him comments with the word pronounce in them.
Thanks for all of u and your teams hard work Simon! I appreciate they stopped the old time radio voice!
im definitly going to see METAL VOLCANO's next show!
I love that title, *_Journey to the Metal World._*
It has a charming cheesy 1930s SF feel to it.
The new communication system changes everything. Right now we only see still images or stitched together photos from mars missions because of low bandwidth. It takes days to beam back the data.
Dial up is a good analogy, if anyone remembers AOL and watching the screen load a picture for 5 minutes.
So far this new system has been successful and may potentially allow us to one day see high definition videos from places like mars.
Dialup was positively speedy compared to first modems I used in the early '80's - these were as low as 300 baud or "superfast" at 1200 baud - yup 300 bits per second. My crappy, cheapo phone runs at 50Mbps by comparison.
Soz - off topic, but shows the difference over 40 years! Same goes for the tech used in Space exploration/Telescopes etc.
@@BadYossa Thanks for sharing that. That was before my time, I didn't have a PC until I was able to buy one myself when I was an older teenager. That was around the emergence of dial up.
The technological progress has been amazing in regards to electronics. I'm hoping in my lifetime we can see high definition videos of missions to other planets.
I just found this ‘new’ channel in the Whistlerverse… it’s incredible the number of channels he has.
That's actually pretty good for literally never seeing one before give this man an award for best realistic imagination.
Discovering a new simon channel is always such a treat 😂
Love the Gundam shout out.
I thought this was a megaprojects video until I saw the channel name, but I think this definitely fits this new channel! Neat!
And 6 years from now we all hope you will still be here Simon,
So happy you guys made a video on this, I caught the launch of Psyche and didnt know what it was till i did some reaserch on it. Thanks so much for all you guys do, and Simon of course! Alright Ill watch it now lol.
The Piers Morgan reference, someone had to say it. Thank you
We need to for all mankind this up.
It's always nice to have Simon videos even ones taken from original sources and used for other people's content.
excellent work sir! as always! imo
Great showcase. And space communication is cool and interesting. I hope I'll be around too for your update.
Thanks Simon, this channel definitely has my interest
Another channel from Simon? Oh hell yeah, instant subscribe.
Awesome channel Simon! Keep it going!
... you need your own talk show ... i enjoy your docs and i feel you could provide the right energy for such a thing ... keep up the good work
Psyche launched Oct. 13, 2023, at 10:19 a.m. EDT for anyone wondering!!😀
That was a Friday the 13th
Gundam Call out.. Sweet
Great narration and information.☮️😎
I'm pretty positive that Simon is an AI. How many channels is this now?
I've counted at least 8, and it seems you see a new one every week. He has a formulae that is working for him.
I for one welcome our new SimonAI overlord.
I'm currently subscribed to 12 of his channels 😅
It's a great system though.... start one channel covering a wide variety of things, then as your views tell you what they would like to see more of, make those channels!
You still retain viewership on the main, and you get to have new people discover you in their recommendations for your new topic!
Hyped for this channel😊
Hole-up, Simon started a space science (or something?) channel? I'm here!
I loved this episode :)
Simon the type of guy to investigate a metal core of a planet by looking at a picture of it, and saying “looks like a core to me 🤷♀️ checks the little box that says scientific analysis complete” I want more wistlerisms or simonology like this.
Two things to keep in mind. The first is that the value of the material cycle is based on current Earth prices. So if psyche actually got here the materials wouldn't be as scarce so they wouldn't be a valuable.
The second is that the current price of moving something safely to orbit is about $10,000 a pound.
So it's more likely the cost of moving mining equipment to orbit and then safely getting the material back down to earth will dominate the cost. It would also cost a phenomenal amount to decelerate psyche and send it into the inner solar system. And it would be a fantastically dangerous object to have anywhere near earth. It would be the ultimate weapon.
What if we wait unti it’s as close to earth as possible, blow it up with nukes, then just collect whatever pieces come flying our way and just let the rest go
I've been thinking much the same things for quite awhile. There's also the question of how having such a source of (presumably affordable) metal at hand would affect the mining industry on Earth. Potentially tens or hundreds of thousands of low- to middle-wage earners could be impacted.
We will always remember... Aldaraan? Krypton? Cybertron? It's one of them.
The actually hardest working man on CZcams. You are everywhere!
I can almost hear the narrator's voice from my childhood saying "And in the distant, black vastness of space this odd, metal asteroid floated along its lonely trajectory. But hello, what's that? It's a Clanger. It's Tiny Clanger and look, she's got a balloon!"
Psyche, 2029: Finally! I've arrived at Metal World!
NASA: Good! Now knock on their door and tell them to lower the volume. We've been getting noise complaints from Mars.
Fun fact: the combined mass of everything in the asteroid belt is just 4% the mass of the Moon.
I don't know when I've had so much fun.
The Metal Volcanoes would be a cool name for a band.
called Psyche, named for the goddess of the soul, damaged bare core of what should have been its own whole proper entity... man, way to make me emotionally attached to an inanimate object.
It wouldn't be too hard to imagine that objects of a similar density, after an impact to end up in the same area and be affected similarly by a random series of events that were much more probable during the highly chaotic time of that areas timeline.
hey! a subject i havnt seen covered much is the idea of a population of smaller stable planets in the inner solar system that were thrown into chaos with the inward migration of jupiter, and that mars and possibly mercury are relics of this past with earth and venus forming after the Jupiters Grand Tack
Oh man, I looove metal!
"Swirling Mess of Dust and Gas". My next prog rock band .
How soon until we get to buy "shares" of this metal monster from hucksters, hustlers, and charlatans? Or... do I need to get on this? ;) Thanks for another educational and entertaining video Simon and team!
Ive always been of the assumption that the asteroid belt was the remains if a planet at that orbit that was torn apart, likely by Jupiter. The idea that Psyche is, all or part of, the core of this world is quite plausible to me.
Considering there is a Yuri Gagarin video, do you think deep dives on historical missions could be in the scope of this channel? I know the Yuri Gagarin video didn't do incredible, but I think Simon covering some things like apollo 11, 13, soyuz 1,6,11, etc. could be really entertaining.
I think 16 Psyche is at least part of the core, that was once the planetesimal, that now makeup; Martian Trojans, Hungaria group asteroids, the main asteroid belt, Cybele group asteroids, Hildas triangle asteroids, Jupiter Trojans (and perhaps some of Jupiters moons as well). The rest of the mass may have been ejected to the outer of the Solar system, or the Kuiper Belt, and beyond. Some may even have been captured by Saturn.
I don't know which I find more intriguing: your hypothesis, or your username.
@@davidanderson_surrey_bc The username is an honest question. I would have figured some wing-nut / disgruntled employee / stiffed contractor / one too many burgers, etc., would have taken him out by now.
As for 16 Psyche; it only makes sense. Considering where it is and what surrounds it.
Imagine Simon whistler sharing about warhammer40k lore. 😮
I have just discovered Astro graphics. I must immediately subscribe to anything that Simon hosts. It’s the rules. I don’t make the rules. All hail the great Simon whistler. 😂
Did any one else get a commercial for phones right as Simon was talking about NASA using the radio wave version of Dial-Up?
Commenting now so I can bump it in 2029. It’s either going to be a meme or awesome. May the internet judge me fairly. Good luck to us all.
Psyche successfully launched on October 13, 2023, and is presently on its way to intercept Mars for a gravity assist by 2026.
Wild hypothesis, what if Psyche is actually the lost core remnant of Thea?
Ahhh yes, let’s send a robot to poke the giant space dragon egg.
6:00 .. It's a entire Planets Warp Core! ... That was ejected during the collision!
Im so happy you started th8s channel!!👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍❤
Do you know about that asteriod that has a density of 74g/cc ?
Oh ffs a new whistleverse channel? Fine* hits subscribe *
Mining an asteroid like this would literally destroy the economy of earth. Look at the Spanish economy after they brought back loads of gold from the Americas. That would be a drop in the bucket compared to an asteroid.
It's more valuable and useful not bringing it to earth. Smelt in orbit and use for building out orbital infrastructure.
@@davescott7680 And supply would have to be controlled and only let down to Earth slowly and methodically.
Transport will be ridiculous expensive, so no effect to our economy.
@@juhajuntunen7866 it won't be expensive to add mined material to the same shuttle that was just emptied when new equipment, more crew got to the asteroid..... as a matter of fact, it would only cost as much as you are paying the people to work.
Fill empty transport vehicle, drop it back to earth, which was the plan for the vehicle anyway.
Another channel, Simon? I mean I have to subscribe. I must
Crazy hypothesis, but it would be wild to some day discover Psyche is the core of the Planetoid that impacted the early Earth and created the moon.
This might be an old script, it's quoted ''At the time of writing, the Psche probe is due to be launched in October this year...''
*The spacecraft was successfully launched on 13 October 2023, at 14:20 UTC, with an expected arrival in 2029.*
Ah, near the end 19:05 he adds it was filmed earlier, and was unsure if it would be posted by the time the probe was launched.
This asteroid is just what I need to cover my $4 quintillion losses on FanDuel. I’ll even have 6 left over to put on the Knicks!
And I was thinking this was about visit to Finland..
Near-infrared is getting close to the terahertz range.
I didn't even notice that this was a new channel, I was just watching assuming it was on one of the other channels like geographics
I love what you do, Simon, but the flashing stuff detracts from your brilliant narration 🤔
3:21 it's like the kirin beer dragon --- somebody described a giraffe to an artist and he drew a kirin
I hope we visit psyche.
I think Simon is a robot. No human could host as many shows as this than does lol
I, for one, would actually like videos about communications technology.
Another channel for Simon, at some point Google might as well just rename CZcams to "Simon's world" ;-)
HAHA, I see factboy's face soo much i had no idea this was a new channel HAHA :) :) :)
How was I not informed of a NEW Simon channel??
if it is made of metal then it would be a great place for a base because it will offer a lot of protection against cosmic radiation.
ASTRO graphics!!! ...WTF why do you need so many channels Simon you now represent 80% of my subscriptions😂
Yep, discover a new Simon channel at 30k views. This is an unexpected topic, im in.
8:50 correction it's freedom units
If asteroid Psyche is truly a protoplanetary core, that means it's likely to contain lots of diamonds as well as precious metals such as gold. Enough to make it well worth going after despite hideous costs. Wonder if Elon's thinking about this...
So much gold and diamonds that will hopefully make them worthless here
@@karlquinn6571 Gold and diamonds both have numerous industrial uses which are currently somewhat restricted due to their relative rarity. That could change. Drillbits that never wear out. Gold plating for many more applications (excellent corrosion inhibitor). I'm sure that tons more uses could be found which are considered out of reach / unfeasible today.
@spudeleven5124 and would be extremely welcome for those purposes but I'd like to see an economic levelling of the playing field with the value of enormous stockpiles worldwide being vastly reduced and the playboy island hoppers and owners return their unearned riches gained from the deceit of gold value to the poorest from whom they stole it. I love lab made diamonds and hope it has destroyed blood diamonds.
In the meantime before we get asteroid gold lets use what we have here for the benefit of mankind and retrain the owners of gold as offshore isolated windfarm operators, press a button every 3.5 hours so they don't get proper sleep. Empires fall from greed and massive corporation who own everything from your cornershop or mechanic to your prisons in America. BLACKROCK own 10% of the world! Put that in your conspiracy theory pipe and smoke it instead of believing their bs about jews
Fun fact. Diamonds are one of the most common gemstones on the planet. The mines and mined inventory are controlled by a couple of global entities who control the global availability creating a fake scarcity.
love the Piers Morgan hit ,,,
Why is it so funny when he curses
"Psyche: Journey to the Metal World"
"Simon: Journey to the Bearded World" ;)
sooo...how do we mine it?
At last. Bennu and I know what it's like to dump a few pebbles
Hi Simon and team.
I hope they don't disturb The Clangers.
😫😰😰. Chelsea Wolfe actually wrote a song about this rock.. and it’s a damn good song. Just look up “16 Psyche”
Very cool!! I was just wondering what the progress is with the Psyche mission..
So?.... if America gets there 1st?
Will they break the world's banks?
Anyone else instantly think of Friends when someone uses the word "Pivot" or is that just me? lol
How many Channels does this guy have?
I sure hope they work out quantum entanglement communication before I die.
