Once we are able to send a Starship to Psyche 16, and start building new Starships, humanity is in for a huge leap. And this isn't even unrealistic - it could be that in 5 - 10 years the next major rush for humanity is to establish a permanent industrial presence on Psyche 16 and start making things...
