1
00:00:00,583 --> 00:00:04,087
There are probably
two million asteroids

2
00:00:04,087 --> 00:00:05,296
in our solar system.

3
00:00:05,296 --> 00:00:09,217
- The reason that Psyche
is unique is that it is metal rich.

4
00:00:09,217 --> 00:00:12,178
- It's believed that it may
be a remnant core

5
00:00:12,178 --> 00:00:13,888
of an early planetesimal.

6
00:00:13,888 --> 00:00:16,057
- One of the ingredients
that went into making our

7
00:00:16,057 --> 00:00:18,727
earth and one that we
cannot see any other way.

8
00:00:18,727 --> 00:00:20,812
And it would be the first metal object

9
00:00:20,812 --> 00:00:23,148
that human kind has ever visited.

10
00:00:23,148 --> 00:00:25,817
- Studying the evolution
of a planetary body

11
00:00:25,817 --> 00:00:27,527
is a detective story.

12
00:00:27,527 --> 00:00:28,987
- I think the only thing we know

13
00:00:28,987 --> 00:00:30,947
is it is not going to look
like what we think it’s

14
00:00:30,947 --> 00:00:32,574
gonna look like and it’s gonna be

15
00:00:32,574 --> 00:00:35,076
really interesting whatever we find.

16
00:00:35,076 --> 00:00:37,203
- Space is always more
amazing than we can

17
00:00:37,203 --> 00:00:38,580
imagine with our minds.
