"We have zero technology as a species to bring Psyche back to Earth. And if we did, it would likely be a catastrophic mistake," Elkins-Tanton said.
"Let's say we were able to actually bring Psyche back. Then it would flood the metals market, and it would literally be worth nothing," she added. "So, calculating the value of it is a fun intellectual exercise with no truth to it. We are not going there to mine an asteroid."
This is the issue here... instead of mining the asteroid or bringing a good chunk back to solve the scarcity issue with metals and make it affordable for everyone... lets not try because... money. I wish a Billionaire philanthropist would go mine that asteroid and break the mineral market.
