In a first, NASA returns asteroid samples to Earth

A capsule containing precious samples from an asteroid landed safely on Earth on Sunday, the culmination of a roughly 4-billion-mile journey over the past seven years.

I find this very exciting. In an interview, a team member said the lander SUNK DOWN and they had to fire boosters. They also scooped too much material!

The probe will begin its next mission, another asteroid which is flying by in 2029

What time is NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return capsule landing on Sept. 24?

Each second of the capsule's descent has been calculated in anticipation for NASA's first asteroid sample return mission.
