Replay! SpaceX Falcon Heavy launches NASA Psyche asteroid mission (Full broadcast)

On the morning of Oct. 13, SpaceX launched a high-tech spacecraft called Psyche on a 2.2 billion mile journey to an intriguing asteroid by the same name. Well, to be clear, the asteroid is known as 16 Psyche. Full Story: https://www.space.com/nasa-psyche-spacex-falcon-heavy-launch-success The goal of the Psyche mission is to study this space rock in great detail because not only is it believed to be very metal-rich, but it's also speculated to really be the leftover iron core of what once was a whole planet. And potentially, Earth's core is made of similar stuff — which means 16 Psyche could be offering us a direct tunnel to the center of our world, a place we cannot otherwise reach.
