"Everything is going exactly according to plan right now, it looks really good." - @OSIRISREx principal investigator Dante Lauretta of @UArizonaLPL recaps today's milestones & the current status of the spacecraft for the asteroid sample collection attempt. #ToBennuAndBack https://t.co/TLOzqUcmRy — PolitiTweet.org

@antihistamin Samples of Bennu can offer insight into the formation of our solar system and origins of life on Earth. An uncontaminated asteroid sample from a known source would enable precise analyses, revolutionizing our understanding of the early solar system. https://t.co/Qic167j4dP — PolitiTweet.org

Did you know? Asteroid Bennu’s surface is covered in building-sized boulders. To go #ToBennuAndBack for today’s TAG (Touch-And-Go) sample collection attempt, our @OSIRISREx spacecraft will have to navigate carefully & touch down in a spot just the size a few parking spaces: https://t.co/V1pgVdYHRk — PolitiTweet.org

@DebEPax @OSIRISREx W're planning to collect a sample of at least 2.1 ounces (60 grams) and possibly up to almost four and a half pounds (two kilograms). https://t.co/8WrYoZlx3r — PolitiTweet.org
