Can Psyche asteroid be mined? Do you have any idea how many and which asteroids have been visited by our interplanetary probes so far? Three, ten, a hundred? Can't quite remember? Well, no worries, we've got you covered. There have been a total of 17 (excluding trans-Neptunian objects visited by the New Horizons probe). Before we dive into the main topic of this fantastic video - which is the currently ongoing mission to the treasure trove that is asteroid 16 Psyche - we want to show them all to you, one by one... Alright. The first asteroid to be approached and photographed up close was 951 Gaspra (12 km in length), which the Galileo probe flew by in 1991 at a distance of 1600 km. -- DISCUSSIONS & SOCIAL MEDIA Commercial Purposes: Lorenzovareseaziendale@gmail.com Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@insanecuriosity Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/insanecuriosity Instagram: https://instagram.com/insanecuriositythereal Twitter: https://twitter.com/insanecurio Facebook: https://facebook.com/InsaneCuriosity Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/insane-curiosity-46b928277/ Our Website: https://insanecuriosity.com/ -- Credits: Ron Miller, Mark A.
