NASA's final tally shows spacecraft returned double the amount of asteroid rubble
NASA's final tally shows spacecraft returned double the amount of asteroid rubble
NASA finally has counted up all the asteroid samples returned by a spacecraft last fall. And it's double the rubble goal.
Double rubble is what the Hamburglar said, right? It’s enough to make a headline writers day.
This means we get to do more science. There’s surely a queue of groups who want to analyze the samples for various reasons. Hopefully this means more groups get access to some. I can’t wait for the studies to start coming out.
I think we'll likely put some more in storage, so that we can do more science on it in decades to come, when science has advanced and we can learn more from some uncontaminated samples.
Prepare for rubble and make it double.
To protect the world from devastation, to unite all peoples within our nation.
To denounce the evils of truth and love, to extend our reach to the stars above.
Trouble with the Hubble bubble holding double the rubble?
We are we looking for?
Asteroid rubble.
The origins of the asteroid. What it's made of, where it's from.
