NASA Opens a Time Capsule from Space and Gets a Shocking Surprise!

In this episode, we will tell you the amazing story of OSIRIS-REx and Bennu, a NASA mission that collected and returned the largest asteroid sample ever. We will explain why NASA chose Bennu as a target, how OSIRIS-REx reached and mapped the asteroid, how it collected and stored the sample, and how it brought it back to Earth. We will also reveal what NASA scientists found when they opened the capsule and what they hope to learn from the asteroid material. Finally, we will discuss the future plans for OSIRIS-REx and its next destination: another asteroid called Apophis. Join us as we explore the secrets of OSIRIS-REx and Bennu in this cosmic adventure.

Hello everyone! We are really sorry for this mistake at 03:28
The correct date for NASA opening the OSIRIS-REx capsule is September 26, not October 2. We apologize for the confusion. I hope you enjoyed learning about OSIRIS-REx and Bennu. If you want to see more of the asteroid sample, NASA will unveil it on October 11 at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT), during a webcast event that you can watch on NASA TV. Thank you for your understanding and interest.

That's a pretty good trick by NASA to open that time capsule on October 2 2023 because where I live it is still September. I wasn't aware that they had perfected time travel.

"There NASA Scientists opened the capsule for the first time on Ocober 2nd 2023" Holy shit this video comes from the future!

Astonishing achievement NASA! It's amazing what we can do when we work together for a common goal. Can't wait to see the results of the sample studies. I love how the space craft is moving on to achieve a secondary mission. There are now so many missions in space that I can't keep up with them all. Quite a positive change from earlier years.

I enjoyed the commentary, will be interested in the results of the material studies

Great video
But … “… sample was opened oktober 2nd…” ????
That is next monday. 😅

[garyfilmer]

It will be extremely interesting to learn of the results of studying this material from asteroid, Bennu. Well done, NASA, this is an outstandingly successful mission, way to go, literally!

[CaptainPeterRMiller]

This was a fascinating and informative video. It is so wonderful that technlogy can send a tiny spacecraft on such a long duration and distant journey, perform tasks and then return a result to Earth. This is real science of the highest quality.

Congratulations NASA team for another brilliant success ! Your quest for knowledge that benefits mankind has been a fascinating journey since your formation in 1958. Your achievements are spectacular and awesome. We wish you success in all your endeavors....

[andrewreid]

A truly magnificent achievement. Congratulations.

[sardarbekomurbekov]

Glory to all scientists and engineers who made it happen. Just amazing.

[drumzone]

Whew! For a second there I thought I was in some sort of time dilation or quantum ripple in the universe trying to figure out how you are reporting on events that happened in the future!

[theannecrossett]

Definitely beneficial to gain more knowledge about what's happening around the earth and beyond.

[bucknaked]

Its just like "The Andromeda Strain".

[ericmager]

How did they open it when the date of this video is 09/29/23 and 10/3/23 is 4 days away still?

[johnishikawa]

Amazing stuff . That asteroid ' Bennu ' has been ' hot rodding ' around out there for 4.5 billion years . Well, at least the rocks and the dust that Bennu has been accreting until it became the asteroid known as Bennu . I can't wait until they start examining the treasure collected from that asteroid . We'll see what stories that material has to tell - what secrets .

[sincerewyd]

I must say, above almost all achievements by humans or nasa in this case, osiris rex has to be 1 of the most important achievements ever to have happened. Along with the Mars rovers, helicopter on mars. 4k pics of Pluto and especially the Jwt. What a time to be alive.

[erichschinzel]

Quite an achievement...incredible precision

[Govstuff]

This is September 29th 2023 how did the open it in Oct 2 2023?

[craigrees]

😲 I thought I missed an appointment after I heard it was October already! Thanks for the scare lol. Still, I've been wondering about this NASA mission since it landed and this was the first video I came across. Awesome 👍👍
