The $ 10,000 million planet can knock out the world economy

NASA launched a campaign to explore asteroids with mineral reserves estimated at $ 10,000 million, enough to knock out the world economy.

According to Daily Star, the width is about 252km. 16 Psyche is located in the asteroid belt area, about three times the distance from Earth from the Sun to Earth.

NASA is expected to launch a spacecraft to explore this asteroid surface in 2022.

Previous exploration information identified 16 Psyche as a huge resource in the universe. The amount of minerals including gold, platinum, iron, nickel . exists inside the estimated price of up to 10,000 million billion USD.

This huge number is said to be enough to knock down the world economy, which is estimated at about $ 73,700 billion.

NASA scientist Lindy Elkins-Tanton in the 16 Psyche asteroid exploration project, said: 'If we could bring this asteroid back to Earth, what would we do?'

'It's hard to hide this huge mass of metal without affecting the world economy. The amount of metal in 16 Pysche could cripple operators for hundreds of years , 'Lindy Elkins-Tanton said. 'This is considered a huge supply of metals, solving all human problems in the long run.'

The 16 Pysche asteroid is estimated to be worth up to $ 10,000 million because of the huge amount of minerals.

In addition to the goal of exploring huge mineral reserves, NASA expects the 16 Pysche asteroid to also help space experts better understand how to protect the Earth from asteroids.

With a width of 252km, the 16 Pysche asteroid is 17 times larger than the meteorite that crashed into Earth about 65 million years ago, causing the species.
