The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft began its final approach toward the big near-Earth asteroid Bennu on Friday (Aug. 17), NASA officials said. The milestone also marks the official start of OSIRIS-REx's "asteroid operations" mission phase, they added.
OSIRIS-REx is still about 1.2 million miles (2 million kilometers) from Bennu and won't arrive in orbit around the 1,650-foot-wide (500 meters) space rock until Dec. 3. The $800 million OSIRIS-REx mission — whose name is short for Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security, Regolith Explorer — launched on Sept. 8, 2016, from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
If all goes according to plan, the probe will study Bennu from orbit for more than two years, gathering a variety of data. OSIRIS-REx will also spiral down to snag a sizable sample of asteroid material before leaving Bennu in March 2021. This cosmic dirt and gravel will come down to Earth in a special return capsule in September 2023.

Please tell me you’re kidding around.
You have about two (2) weeks left to wake up.
YHWH (God) created you.
YHWH loves you.
You are separated from Him by sin (yours or inherited.)
YHWH sent His Son (Yahusha/Jesus) to pay the penalty (death) for your sin.
If you believe in Him (Yahusha/Jesus) and accept His gift to you, you will be saved from destruction.
Romans 10:9-10
Ping for later read in 15 days.
So in three weeks you will admit you are completely full of bullshit? Cool. Looking forward to it.
adaven,
The Gospel in six words:
Created (God created you)
Loved (God loves you)
Sinned (You are separated from God by sin, your own or inherited. The penalty for sin is death.)
Bought (God sent His son to pay the penalty (death) for your sin.)
Believed (You must believe that He has done this for you, both mind and heart. Romans 10:9-10)
Saved (If you believe, in true faith, you will be saved.)
Blessings to you and your loved ones.
Do not put off the gift that God is offering to you.
If you do not choose life, what is the alternative?
There will be no second chance.
