"In a retro, but futuristic aesthetic, eight stamps depict the formation of the Psyche asteroid after a hypothesized collision stripped it of its outer mantle and crust, leaving behind a metallic core. Simple line strokes and geometric shapes form the different Psyche phases in a bold primary color palette to bring the design to life. The postage stamps are combined together to create a Book of Stamps, with a tag attached at the top with Psyche’s Logo, name of the stamp collection “The Formation of Psyche”, and a barcode. The numbers on the bar code illustrate the start and end dates of this flight mission by month and year. "

The video intro begins with fly-in text of Welcome to Psyche 16 with an exclamation mark at the end of the sentence. The text is centered. 2050 fades in after about 3 seconds, indicating this idea is set in the future. The next scene shows a woman on her couch watching her flat screen, granite colored television. It is on the news showing a rocket leaving Earth into space. The news people are inclusive. Including an alien. The news casters are stating that there is “Breaking News”. The first guy says Breaking News. The first human spaceflight mission to the first metal asteroid 16 Psyche. The news lady states, that is very interesting and exciting. Another states: I can’t wait to see what this looks like for real in real life. The alien then states Me either. The lady exclaims. Join me to Psyche! The next scene shows a house that is made of multicolored glass. It is two-stories.The clouds are moving behind the Sun (because I wanted something different than the usual clouds in front) from left to right. There is a person upstairs laying on the couch. This is the woman's friend. The friend exclaims Definitely! The next scene show pieces of the Psyche satellite being put together. The outer atmosphere of 16 Psyche, which is purple, begins to fade away. The next scene shows the new Asteroid Astronauts in their training facility getting prepared to go on a mission. There are multi-colored asteroids flying in different directions in the behind the facility. The next scene they are in the rocket on the launch pad. There is smoke coming from the rocket engines. The next scene is the social media poll intro. There is a rocket at the bottom with blue-green thrust. There is a modified Psyche satellite to accommodate users that replied to are social media poll. The next scene shows a close up of the Psyche Social Media Satellite. The first post is from B Sharp. His answer is 1) first looks & all the science at a world potentially like no other we've seen before. And if it turns out run-of-the-mill, the comparative work that can be done 2) unexpected colors nuances & crater morphologies. The next scene show the social media intro like again but the satellite is flying in a different direction than initially. The next scene shows the next two posts. The first is from Batty Robot #12. It states: Love to see the real images. Not the what if animations. Tuomas J. Salo states: 1. One step closer to a (so far) science fiction in-situ resourse utilization and orbital trades networks. 2. The element of SURPRISE! The next scene is the social media intro but static except the thrust. The next scene shows the final assembly the the Psyche satellite as well as the dissolution of the outer and inner layers of 16 Psyche exposing the core. This represents the evolution of the 16 Psyche asteroid and our current mission to analyze it. The next scene shows the human spaceflight rocket entering from the left as the 16 Psyche asteroid gets larger. This represents us getting closer to view it. The rocket travels around the asteroid and exits top left screen. The Psyche satellite travels throughout space. The final scene show the end credits. It states: Created by Aurelia L. Wall for Psyche Inspired. This is version one of the final submission for my Psyche Inspired Project 1. This multimedia prevention is meant to get people excited for the current Mission to 16 Psyche as well as push beyond imagination and to reach to make dreams reality in human spaceflight to asteroids. I hope you enjoy watching! And then to space background for an end.
