Billionaires could face dire consequences after reaching the $100 trillion space rock floating in space, which NASA is trying to access. In 2023, the space agency announced the launch of an attempt to reach a valuable asteroid called 16 Psyche. NASA is eagerly awaiting the arrival of this asteroid, which is believed to contain valuable metals such as gold, iron, and nickel. A statement issued by the agency in July 2023 said that teams of engineers and technicians were working around the clock to ensure that the orbiter could travel 2.5 billion miles to reach the metal-rich asteroid and learn about the formation of planetary layers and planets.
The mission finally began in October 2023 when NASA sent the spacecraft into space from Florida. Traveling at a speed of 84,000 miles per hour, the spacecraft is expected to reach the precious gem by August 2029. According to reports, the value of this asteroid is 100,000 times more than the world’s $100 trillion GDP, due to its abundance of gold, platinum, and cobalt. According to one theory, this asteroid could make everyone on Earth a billionaire.
However, some people have a completely different opinion. Some believe that this asteroid will not make anyone a billionaire, but it will bring many billionaires to zero. According to another person, the price of gold will be equal to a penny and no one will become a billionaire. It’s a simple matter of supply and demand. If the asteroid’s metals flood the market, the prices could plummet, potentially disrupting the economy and affecting those who invested heavily in these resources. The outcome remains to be seen as NASA’s mission continues to unfold.
