Looks sweet and crunchy to me, and the name seems rather appetizing.

It does have the shape of a fluorite crystal. As Mr. Spock would say, “interesting.” It is not a fluorite crystal but the shape is unusual.

Oh....it’s that thing that fell off the top of the lamp.

How will the rovers rove on the asteroid? Its gravity must be negligible.

The Japanese have gone into space to probe an asteroid.
Is that our payback for aliens coming here and probing us?

What is also interesting, is the fact it appears to also bring revolving on an axis, with the “poles” remaining up and down.

Get those little twin Japanese women to sing that awful song so Mothra can come and spit silly string on Godzilla!!!
