Reet Neet - Thanks for posting !

The original Hayabusa mission ran into a host of potential mission ending failures and it prevailed in the end. Magnificent engineering !

And only in Japan do they write metal anthems to their space probes. Excellent summary of what went wrong starting at 3:25 but you can’t go wrong watching the whole thing.

A lot of people don’t know the JAXA a few years back landed on an asteroid and came back to Earth with a sample of the asteroid landing in a remote area of the Australia outback.
