Europe tried to grab a sample from a comet. The lander bounced off the surface and got lost. I do believed they eventually located it but never reestablished contact.

I can remember when I was under the illusion that science was pure. Fact based, results oriented.

Now, when I see NASA, I wonder what the story has to do with climate change.

“The spacecraft will attempt to touch the surface of the asteroid Bennu...”

They should rename the asteroid “Toobin”..

This will hopefully not result in a change of trajectory pushing this asteroid towards earth... That would be a very big oops!

Saw this on news last night, but nothing about landing on the asteroid.

Read Live Free or Die for a good take on asteroid mining. John Ringo and Dr. Travis Taylor make a great team.

Isn't an asteroid supposed to hit Earth on election day or the day after?

I guess if the socialist dems drag Crooked Joe across the line, that might be apropos.

Hi.

The samples they collect better be gold, platinum and dilythium crystals.

Otherwise why go?

5.56mm

Quite a remarkable story about the Japanese Hayabusa mission.

Took a licking and kept on ticking.

Full story in a Japanese music video...
