This is the best coverage of the OSIRIS-REx mission I've ever seen. It even included the Japanese Hayabusa mission, which recovered amino acids - the building blocks of life - from asteroid Ryugu, when the capsule returned to earth in 2010. It will be interesting to see what they recover from the Bennu mission - will they find hydrocarbons and amino acids? I'm also looking forward to follow OSIRIS-REx's encounter with Apophis in 2029.

[@Spacestorm50]

Every asteroid or comets should have a tracking device on it and ping back the distance it's is periodically then we would have a great layout and map with the data and everything could be tracked and have threatening space objects to ping back an alert if within a danger zone to humanity would make everything easier it would be a tiny rocket drone with a spider bot form that would have a tiny drill in the under belly of it like can be used as an anchor point and or could have an embedded sensor within said anchor point and ping back the composition data and sense it would have a spider body it's legs would be more mailable with more joint points and could flex 360 degrees and reverse and inside out incase on falling over and it becoming incapacitated. Tiny solar panel could be used. These could be a possible "Swarm" Capabible to cover more areas but only have 1 "host Bot" that would only be capable of transitioning it's data, the other bot that would come out of the "host bot" would be sharinf the ride within the capsule and would be actived to be able to move around based on directions given from us in earth to the "host bot" antenna receiver.

I'd assume the fact there wasn't any room for error just getting the sample. Adding another mission to throw down a camera would have caused problems. That and the cost of the added weight going a billion miles away wouldn't be worth whatever imaged it would return. NASA does space, I doubt that video would be interesting to them at all they see this crap daily. Also with the way the asteroid tumbles and rolls through space there wouldn't be a line of sight back to earth that lasts long enough to send any data that would compose much of any picture or video feed worth a damn.

I'm sure NASA has considered all possibilities for contaminating the asteroid sample, but I'm wondering what the effect is upon exposure to the Earth's atmosphere. I realize they are in a clean room when opening the spacecraft, but the air in the clean room has oxygen and water and I would think that would contaminate it.

[@donaldkasper8346]

Since when does air and moisture contaminate minerals once they are collected? The only mineral I know of that changes with exposure to air is marcasite and opal.

[@jaroldscottwilliams.3rd832]

@@donaldkasper8346 Water reactive chemicals are chemicals that react vigorously with moisture. The most common water sensitive chemicals include sodium, potassium, lithium metals and aluminum alkyls. Air-sensitive compounds are substances that would react, explode or oxidize with air, such as organometallic compounds (chemical compounds containing at least one chemical bond between a metal and carbon atom, including alkaline earth, alkaline and transition metals). Then you have to consider the potential for new substances including things that don't follow the rules like oobleck. Oxygen is surprisingly... corrosive...? I don't know the right word for it. It breaks things down.

[@davidwuhrer6704]

What's the difference between a radio beacon and reflected sunlight for the purpose of tracking its source? The difference is that tracking a radio source is more difficult. And the asteroids already reflect sunlight all the time. (Radio is not visible light, so you need a radio observatory instead of a telescope; a radio sends on one frequency, not a Gaussian spectrum like black body radiation, so you can't catch it just approximately (well technically you can, but the margin is much smaller); radio waves are a lot longer than visible light (meters or tens of meters compared to tenths of micrometers), so you need much bigger equipment. And radio needs an energy source, and you may need an active antenna to capture it, while reflecting sunlight requires no special equipment, and it is bright enough to be visible without an amplifier.)

You're way off on scale. There are millions of asteroids. A single rendezvous like this one costs tens of millions of dollars. As for comets, most of them spend most of their time far beyond Pluto's orbit, where we have sent less than 10 probes at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars each. We just don't have the resources, but we do have radar, which is why we track via radar. By the time humans have the ability to put a tracker on every asteroid, we will have converted 99% of them into orbital factories, farms, and houses, and the remaining 1% will be space parks for our distant descendants. Our radar and space-based telescopes are getting better all the time so I think we will eventually track everything bigger than a tennis ball, and probably will have an array of tracking stations out in the various belts.

They do not seem to understand the movement of a debris collection we call an asteroid. No gravity or very little gravity. Sure looks to me to me like electrostatic generated dust movement. Why are the Electric Universe concepts never considered? This whole video never even mentions the electrostatic aspect of this intermingling of masses that are at different electrical potentials. Was the charge transferred at touchdown even measured by the drone?

[@phildavenport4150]

Probably because the electric universe concept is crap.

I think charge differential makes way more sense than the extremely weak force of gravity attracting dust towards something comparatively small which is moving away from something much larger.

The chance of DNA "developing" on it's own is like finding one particular atom in the universe.

[@GhostBearCommander]

DNA literally can’t “develop” on its own. It needs polypeptides to aid in this endeavor. The same is true in reverse. DNA sequences code for the amino acid sequences and folds in polypeptides. As such, you cannot have one without the other. That’s why Abiogenesis is such a bunk hypothesis.

[@JohnWarner-lu8rq]

@@GhostBearCommander You have about 10 trillion cells in your body, so if you stretched the DNA in all the cells out, end to end, they'd stretch over 744 million miles. The moon is only about 250,000 miles away, so all your DNA would stretch to the moon and back almost 1500 times. The sun is 93,000,000 miles away, so your DNA would reach there and back about 4 times! The complex DNA code was a product of intelligent design, just like the binary code. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out, but do you want proof? Here’s proof: Fifty two leading evolutionary biologists and mathematicians came together in Philadelphia to answer the following question: Given 3.5 billion years, in absolute perfect conditions, what is the chance of even a single DNA molecule evolving? The answer they came up with: one chance out of ten to the 80th power. That’s quite a large number to comprehend. To put it in perspective, that's the estimated number of atoms that compose the universe. So the probability of a DNA molecule evolving, are as good as locating one singly marked atom out there in the universe somewhere.

[@artstrology]

Humans have detected and tracked recurring energies of unknown source for over 7,000 years. They form what is known as the 20 day cycle and are known in all cultures.. Each day is distinctly detectable and trackable in a variety of ways. The 20 standard amino acids appear likely to have derived from those same recurring energies, as they instantaneously correlate with the functions and properties of the amino acids, and even have the same interactions and relations like Tyrosine and Phenylalanine. Now we need to find the source of the energies, and what they are. I suspect wave forms of some type,.@@GhostBearCommander

I find this funny, they can get a sample from a asteroid by landing and taking off again, but I can't land on the moon again 😅

[@josephwinder6878]

One can land on the moon. Just no one really wants to

[@davidwuhrer6704]

The moon is bigger. Bennu has next to no gravity, so you can just pull alongside it at a leisurely pace and get your samples. With the moon, when you approach the surface you are going thousands of kilometres per second with no atmosphere to slow you down. To get to a stop at the surface you have to use rockets to slow down, but slowing down sideways means you start falling onto the surface instead, and you don't want to crash at such speeds, so you have to use rockets to break your fall just in time that you stop on the surface, not a hundred kilometres above or below it. And the surface isn't exactly smooth, there's craters all over it.

They sent us to the Moon in less than 10 years time with old technology, I think they still know what they're doing.
