Dear Cheap Astronomy \u2013 What\u2019s Psyche really like? Psyche is an asteroid in the asteroid belt and apparently a very metal rich one, which makes it a prospecting target for budding asteroid miners. Pysche is also a spacecraft, launched on October 13, 2023. We\u2019re recording this episode about one month after launch when it\u2019s already over 15 million km from Earth \u2013 and its destination? Yep, Psyche \u2013 the asteroid. &amp;nbsp; Dear Cheap Astronomy \u2013 How is Mars Sample Return mission going? Here at Cheap Astronomy we\u2019ve often said that landing on Mars is one thing \u2013 getting off it again is quite another. But this is the intention of the Mars Sample Return mission \u2013 which has already commenced insofar as the Perseverance rover is currently collecting samples for it \u2013 some of which have dropped for later retrieval, while others remain stored within the rover. &amp;nbsp; We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.&amp;nbsp; Just visit: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!
