NASA's Psyche spacecraft uses a gravity assist maneuver, passing Mars at over 12,000 mph to steal energy from the planet's gravitational field and slingshot toward a metal asteroid worth $10 quintillion, demonstrating how spacecraft can save years of fuel by leveraging planetary gravity for trajectory changes.

NASA Just "Stole" Speed from Mars! 🚀🛰️ #shorts #viviaAdded:
This isn't an eclipse. It's a rare view of Mars as a silver crescent captured just hours ago by NASA's Psyche spacecraft. Right now, Psyche is screaming past Mars at over 12,000 mph pulling off a high-stakes gravity assist to save years of fuel. NASA is literally stealing energy from Mars to slingshot toward a metal asteroid worth 10 quintillion dollars. It's the ultimate space heist.
While NASA plays tag with Mars, SpaceX is prepping the massive Starship V3 for Tuesday.
