Let me guess… Those weapons can probably also be used for human (space) warfare. 😏

Bennu’s boulders contain the building blocks of life. Analysis of the samples returned by OSIRIS-REx found water-bearing minerals and carbon-rich material — key ingredients for life as we know it.

"We keep finding the raw material of DNA in asteroids—what’s it telling us?
This week’s result is just the latest in a growing collection of discoveries.
On Monday, a paper announcing that all four DNA bases had been found on an asteroid sparked a lot of headlines. But many of the headlines omitted a key word needed to put the discovery in context: 'again.' The paper itself cited similar results dating back to 2011, and the ensuing years have seen various confirmations and more rigorous studies. The new work was less notable for showing that we had found these bases in Ryugu than for solving a previous mystery: earlier studies had failed to detect them there, despite their presence in many other asteroid samples.
Outside the headlines, though, the new work provides some interesting details, as it may answer an important question: how these bases got there in the first place. Understanding that better may be critical for getting a better picture of how the raw materials for life ended up on Earth in the first place."

In one of the biggest surprises of NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission, its target asteroid, Bennu, turned out to be a jagged, rugged world covered in large boulders, with few of the smooth patches of sandy or pebbly material scientists had expected based on observations with Earth-based instruments. Bennu's looks were quite deceiving, and until now, scientists struggled to figure out why.
Ryugu asteroid sample contains all five key components of DNA, scientists find
