This is awesome! Now if we can just figure out how to build a road that isn’t filled with potholes here on earth we will have truly evolved.

They get a good video stream of this but my satellite radio cuts out under a tree....

[rufus-rebk]

Its crazy how everyone just believes everything they are told without question

[BlitzBodyBeats]

Damn well done there are really smart people in that team

[edYeaYea]

It’s 2020 I hope this is not an Armageddon movie scenario...

[dvsxavier]

The Japanese did it first successfully bringing back samples to earth. NASA still needs to catch up.

Space may be the final frontier but it's made in a Hollywood basement.

Check your facts ABC. The first landing on an asteroid was actually a landing, not a TAG (touch and go) sample collection. The first landing on an asteroid was on Feb. 12, 2001 when the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft landed on Eros.

Computer simulations are so realistic kinda makes you believe it lol

It’s always just the landing Camera right. The lies

WoW..Nasa Makes History During Pandemic!!👍

Where's the footage of the approach as it got closer to the asteroid?? Only live footage is one of the landing gears facing gravel.

Back in the 80s NASA came to our school and told us all we were all going to space before the year 1990 and look what happened. We all got left behind🤦‍♂️

[pokchoprojas]

Never underestimate with a bunch of engineer’s in one room

[Craccockahine]

[julz]

AAAAND then the team that did calculation got hired by the military ...

[aaronthegreat]
