NASA Spacecraft Returns Extraterrestial Material To Earth. Scaring Scientists During Landing

NASA's OSIRIS REx spacecraft completed its primary mission by returning a large sample from the asteroid Bennu to Earth over the weekend, dropping its sample return capsule neatly onto a test range in Utah after giving the engineers some concern that it might crash. <br>Now the material has been recovered it'll be sent to labs to be analyzed using technologies and instrumentation which could never fly on a spacecraft. <br>Meanwhile the parent spacecraft is renamed OSIRIS APEX and is headed toward a rendezvous with Apophis. <br> <br>Follow me on Twitter for more updates: <br>https://twitter.com/DJSnM <br> <br>I have a discord server where I regularly turn up: <br>https://discord.gg/zStmKbM <br> <br>If you really like what I do you can support me directly through Patreon <br>https://www.patreon.com/scottmanley
