While most news reports have focused trivially on Elon Musk’s status as the first trillionaire resulting from SpaceX’s successful initial public offering (IPO) last week, the real story of that IPO has to do with SpaceX itself and how that company’s extremely bright future is going to change human history.

All this because of the wild dreams of one man, an immigrant to America who embraced its fundamental belief that each person has the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, following the American ideals of private property, capitalism, and earning profits.

Not only on the Moon but other places in the solar system have precious metals and gems worth finding. The asteroid 16 Psyche, for instance, is the most metal-dense body in our solar system. Orbiting between Mars and Jupiter, this 140-mile-wide metallic asteroid is believed to be the exposed core of an ancient, destroyed planetesimal. Scientists estimate its precious metals could be worth over a $quintillion.
