A NASA probe is on its way to asteroid made of gold that's worth 100,000,000,000 trillion dollar

NASA’s Psyche mission, launched in October 2023, aims to explore a metal-rich asteroid worth $100,000 quadrillion, offering a glimpse into the formation of planetary cores. While the asteroid holds immense potential for resource extraction, asteroid mining remains an ongoing challenge due to technological and economic limitations. The mission primarily focuses on understanding planetary formation, but with private sector investment, asteroid mining could one day support space exploration.
