NASA aims to capture 16 Psyche, an asteroid worth $10 quintillion, discovered in 1852.
Launched on October 13, 2023, the spacecraft will travel 2.5 billion miles, reaching 16 Psyche by 2029.
The spacecraft, as large as a tennis court, will use Mars' gravity to speed up in 2026.
16 Psyche offers clues about planetary cores and formation, with 30-60% metal composition.
Packed with gold, iron, and nickel, 16 Psyche could revolutionize our understanding of space resources.
