OSIRIS-REx: NASA's First Mission to Deliver Asteroid Samples to Earth

On September 24, 2023, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft successfully delivered samples of asteroid Bennu to Earth, following a seven-year mission that saw the spacecraft travel nearly four billion miles through deep-space. These samples could give insights into the planetary formation of our solar system and the origins of life on Earth.
Designed, built and flown by our teams, the spacecraft has now begun its extended mission to asteroid Apophis under its new mission name, OSIRIS-APEX.

Imagine what we could do if we had the defence budget for space

[@mikethedick]

Without defense this wouldn't be possible.

[@billiehicks1864]

What do you mean "we" I don't condone or consent to any of this this isn't we this is them you know the rich elites who want war power and profit!

[@dackbowland1876]

True. I imagine global thermal nuclear war would have ended all life on earth a very long time ago. Lmfao what? U can’t be serious. Wouldn’t be this tense today with the Russian and North Korean nuclear terrorists if nuclear terrorist china would have let america vaporize North Korea in the 50’s.

@@craigmackay4909 all life on earth would be on its last leg around this time if defense didn’t get as much money as it does. If you’re under 60 years old you most likely wouldn’t exist right now. Height of the Cold War was 1962.

Congratulations Lockheed and NASA. I was fortunate enough to watch the landing. I hope to see more videos about OSIRIS-REx in the near future.

It’s crazy to watch humans still travel with rockets knowing we literally have man made UAPS at our disposal. It’s actually so fucked. World changing tech kept under wraps. For what. Fear of others using it, money, wars etc probably. But something so revolutionary should be open source, for science and the advancement of human kind. The tech is so ground breaking that it literally shatters your view of reality. It’s a part of our reality that we don’t understand/ it feels like something magic and impossible, except to the people that have seen it/ understand it. All of the public is kept in the dark about something MASSIVE. A huge piece of the puzzle that we are all missing. God I just wish they would come forward and explain it to the public. Probably the most annoying part of my exsistns is understanding exactly this. And here we are, still paying the majority cooperations, for our energy which is made in a prehistoric way. Destroying our environment and emptying our pockets. Lockheed. F U

So cool, i love Lockheed Martin.

Luckily nothing bad could ever happen from retrieving alien soil and introducing it to our planet.

[@monkeyanimationandgaming]

The main risk would be stuff returned from mars, not from some asteroid

Congratulations teams! And when they opened the sample vessel they were shocked…… To be continued

"hey, Jeff! We are in the middle of no-where, in the sun, waiting for some block of dust from space to fall on us and we are probably underpaid, and the guys at base are sitting on their fancy cusion seats and they are the ones making history? Guess what im about to do? *unzips*"

We cant get cell phone reception in the country but nasa is remote controling a rover on mars 236 million miles away for over a decade and the thing still works? 😂😂cmon people can you not see bs when its this obvious? What about the president phone call from nixon to the moon? Yall wanna explain how there was NO DELAY for the signal to travel that far meanwhile youtubers live streams are 5-30 seconds delayed? Like does anyone have any common sense? I guess they forgot to metioned they used light radio waves that were a million times faster than radio waves 😂
