Yeah, but in the grande scheme of things, just barely reaching out and touching some rocks in our tiny solar system, kind of leaves us stuck more in the science reality realm, than the science fiction... Now when they've invented food replicators, wake me up please... 😋
Hayabusa 1 and 2 already did that, although in much smaller quantities than Osiris. It will be interesting to see what will they find in the sample in comparison with JAXA's findings
@@Quickened1 While small, it is a step in the right direction. It think it was Cody's Lab that had a video showing the scale of the universe (well worth a watch). The Earth and moon were roughly 1 mm apart, the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, which is not visible to the human eye; 202km. Yep, we've only gone 1mm, we have a long way to go.
I like how, no matter how advanced science has become and no matter how many millions or even billions of dollars are spent on these missions, the scientific method still basically boils down to "let's just poke it with a stick".
Well what else do u want to do? You can't send a human on it. But overall yeah we mostly only poke holes, cuz there is not enough interest or budget to advance faster
@@max-le9cx to clarify: the commenter just wanted to make a remark they thought was clever - it wasn't a mission analysis on strategical methods used 😁
I mean, every first step we've done as a human civilization is to first brute force our way to it or via accidents... (Ex. Tomatoes are thought to be poisonous, someone ate it and didn't die. See that fire there due to a lightning? Use it! And learn how to make it outselves)
It's insane. Just the fact that they were able to have such control around this asteroid that's so tiny, relatively speaking, and were able to pull this off is just engineering at its best.
The fact that the craft isn’t used up, and has another mission speaks volumes of its durability and over engineering. Will it go on to see yet another target after this one? Humans, on earth, controlling this vehicle with such precision, is nearly as important as the samples it collected.
The engineers had no idea, these astriods were made up of individual pepple/marble intact dust, only clinging attached by each element gravity. Every element in the cosmo possess its own micro/nano into gigantic dominat trajectory. Light also in eons time range of alignment path, linking themselves together, to someday rejoyce to more complex denser energy, gas, *dust* and eventually mass complex elements of celestial chem-life entities.

Even the truth behind the analogy of just one singular right side up *Banged-up* start theory.
I was involved with the CosmoQuest team of citizen scientists that mapped Bennu looking for a suitable landing site. We marked every rock, boulder, and crater on the asteroid over the course of nearly a year. It was tedious work, but necessary to ensure the safety of the spacecraft and success of the mission. I'm really excited for the sample return early next year. Thanks for another great video Alex.
Better than mine in the my kid days where I thought I was stepping on a dried mound of ashes, it's not. It's a freshly out-of-the-furnace ash that looks cool and solid on the outside but is actually a burning-hot sand inside. My feet were cooked.
It’s so cool to hear that Bennu has been visited, and even cooler that REx is now APEX and has a new target once it returns the sample. I love space exploration.
Huh? ... **cute wimpering** your Osiris REx is evolving! ... **suspenseful jingle** ... **threatening roar** Your Osiris REx has evolved into Osiris APEX! **triumphant jingle**
This video made me literally laugh out loud when it was revealed how the actual touchdown went as Osiris gathered materials. Wonderful video, Alex! I've been enjoying your channel for a few years now, and you never disappoint. Fun Fact: The sample that will be touching down in the desert next year is only about a 40 minute drive from my house! I should see if there's a way I can go watch the impact (although there's a large military testing area at the salt flats there which I'm sure may prevent this. Might be fun though!)
If you can do it legally that would be awesome, if they let you, you should ask if they could check and approve a video recording of it, that'd be awesome
Nothing in this world gives me more joy than watching humankind push the boundaries of space and do that one thing we're all supposed to do - explore. I'm writing this on a man made channel on a speck of dust floating around in space, knowing well that there's a piece of us out there "exploring" as I finish this sentence.

@@richarddunn7017 they're hoping there will be some origins of life on it lol 😂 they ain't gonna find a drip of organic material on it. Just as you said iron, maybe some rare unknown metal but that's it
Great video as ever. All that time orbiting to find a suitable touchdown? It makes my supermarket carpark circling to find the perfect slot... look almost normal.
Once again I have to congratulate the fellow engineers (along side with the rest of the team) for pulling such an amazing feat! And also congratulations are in order for this video! Great job everybody!
Can't wait to see what they learn from these missions, and the materials that's been collected. Sucks it takes soo long though but what can you do with our current tech.
What other tech is out there? The technology that sadly needs to stay completely covered up so some money and power hungry people don't use it in a negative way which history proves that is more than likely what will happen. Look what is happening now with glorified 50's knowledge. And everything just mysteriously advanced at an exponential rate then slowed to a near stop after it started becoming weaponized. Maybe some guy in a garage will figure it all out, leak it and let us have a few weeks of fun. It would be nice otherwise.
@@chucknorris3984 "everything just mysteriously advanced at an exponential rate" Hyperbole. The difference between the 1950s and now is computers and 'smart' phones.
🤭 Typical millennial. It's not our current technology that sucks, it's the limits of the laws of physics. If this mission was repeated in a hundred years it would still take a long time to travel from an asteroid back to Earth.
My favorite part of this is a 3rd grader suggesting an Egyptian deity. I prefer to think he was geeking about Egyptian history than a suggestion from parents.
The less compact nature of the 'ground' was mind blowing! I always imagined asteroids were as tightly packed as dirt. I'll have to build my summer cabin elsewhere!
It also made me think of how much mass would be necessary to feel “some” gravity pull towards it. This 490m wide ball feels like it could be something we could create in space eventually. It also makes me think of things like the ISS, does it have it’s own gravity well, and how strong is it?
Man, I remember reading on Apophis many years ago, that the close pass is unknown of it is going to change it's orbit until it's next pass during 2030's something if I recall correctly and if it is going to be a danger then. Had no idea OSIRIS was going there but it is nice to know it will keep an eye on it. Interesting times indeed! Almost forgot about this mission because of DART lol
Unfortunately it's been recalculated to be way off. Still really close but not enough to be altered. Its not a country killer so if it hit since most of earth is unpopulated. There is an over 75% chance we will just get the first imaging of an asteroid impact by satellite
this mission is told so emotionally it sounds like a romance story rather than a simple mission. amazing narration, plus amazing time to live with so much going on in the space industry
@@adawg3032 i know and it is amazing to see. i think 2001 space odyssey is a good reference to show how late we are, since technically we should have had better space capabilities long ago
I appreciate you placing the commercial at the end of the video. I always skip forward when the commercial is mid-way through video. I watched the commercial in its entirety - without even thinking about skipping it. And i'm considering givin the product a try.
I remember watching the launch of this mission from Space Dynamics Laboratory’s presentation hall as they were watching a camera that they’d worked on finally leave for its mission. I’m glad to hear that it was successful in its very scientific “just poke it with a stick” and that it’s on the way back home. Well done Osiris, we await you with open arms!
This is ground breaking. The first time we've ever been able to collect samples from one of the oldest asteroids we could get in reach of, getting more than expected, and being able to bring it back. PLUS, the fact that we're able to send machines to both planets and asteroids to gather samples and materials for us. I love it.
we arent out of the woods yet though. OSIRIS-Rex is only halfway through the return trip and still has another 9 months of space travel. also, the reentry vessel with the samples on board could still fail to detach from the craft so theres alot that can go very wrong.
Well, this is why we do science. To learn things and check our assumptions. I was lucky enough to be at it's launch for a NASASocial, I hope to be there with the rest of the gang for the sample return.
That's going to be one unnerving day for residents of a particular part of the Utah desert next September. Though an enticing day, too -- if anything's going to come crashing through a person's roof or jab itself into their yard, it'd be so cool to have it bring between 400 grams and 1 kilogram of an asteroid! Beyond that, let me add that you have done a superb job on this explanatory video. Thanks for the clear info, and for using metric measurements. That helps us who live in that lost region south of Canada and north of Mexico who need to be prompted to get out of our complacency and grasp metric!
God damn. This is just impossible but it was achieved. How in the world this spacecraft was able to hop on this asteroid multiple times just blows my mind and sent back to earth. Also excellent explanation.
Albeit a success I am absolutely blown away (pun intended) that no one anticipated the lack of a solid surface. The photographs and video footage makes it quite apparent on the mock approaches. I imagine a manned mission bennu may be an option in future
Great presentation...and thanks for the, less intensive background music. I've been a fan since early days of your channel. Thanks for all the science! ❤
Gypsies from central and northern Bulgaria 🇧🇬 thank the entire NASA team for choosing the name of the spacecraft "OZĪRIS". This word combination OZI + IRIS are words from our language Rōmanys ( Gypsy / Egypt ) which mean Ozi = soul, heart and Iris = return , revival. Ozīris = return, revival of the soul, the heart, that which personifies the god Ozīris (the god who returns, revives the souls of the dead. Milcho Nikolov ( folk etymologist).
Excellent video! Andromeda Strain in real life, except now it'll be "Bennu Strain"? I'll be in Europe when it's supposed to land in Utah... so there could be delay before the alien bugs kill us. I'm only 0.1% serious, I work in the industry - happy to see successful missions, even after a small hiccup.
It's a refreshing change to find an astronomy channel that doesn't use an AI voice. It's also great that you're able to provide everyone with so much information, in a short space of time and making it both interesting and easy to follow 🤗 I'm looking forward to your next video 🤗
The AI voice makes a video highly suspect by default, unless it's something like a gaming humor video (see: HowdyBii). If you're getting recommended a lot of digitally-voiced "science" videos, you're probably being fed them by the algorithm because you started watching them in the first place.
asteroids being packed loosely is kinda comforting to know I wonder if that increases our chance of being able to do something if a large one is heading to earth.
I would again like to commend the camera crew who got these awesome close-ups and action shots, amazing work! They didn’t even fall through the asteroid!
The name of the TAGSAM concept was Muucav, which is vacuum spelled backwards since that’s what it is. The first design was a Solo cup and an air compressor on the engineer’s driveway.
Wonderful information. I'm looking forward to hearing the results of the studies on the returned materials from Bennu. This is fascinating, as is the new journey to Apophis.
Well worth the investment I’d say, only going for 60g sample but getting close to a 1kg sample instead, well that just made the original mission cost per gram that much more in the black.
New nightmare of sinking into an asteroid. Like encased in sand and gravel unable to really push material away or use any as leverage. Just trapped in a thick soup of dirt.
Good to know that asteroids are more like sand than rock. Rocks with the consistency of finely powdered snow. hopeful we see some more realistic games or movies with these new asteroids in as I think having a asteroid disintegrate as it hits a ship ad form a dust cloud would look better than a typical explosion
Wow! Automated Doordash for asteroid research material! Makes me wonder if some sort of ramjet scooping device could be used to sample gas from Jupiter or Saturn... Thanks S.W.
This is basically science fiction come to life. We took a sample from an alien body and sent it back home, what a time to be alive.
This will have several thousand likes in a few hours, don't worry.
Asteroid mining left science fiction way sooner than we thought.

The fact that small asteroids may predominantly be composed of loose agglomerates bodes well for minimal consequences of asteroid impact with Earth.
No, it doesn't. All that mass and energy is still there, and still has to be dumped.
@@personzorz Sure but smaller rocks get incinerated way quicker on entry, so it would still reduce potential damage done quite a lot
@@Datoda That would mean at most that the energy is deployed at a higher altitude

It's a refreshing change to find an astronomy channel that doesn't use an AI voice. It's also great that you're able to provide everyone with so much information, in a short space of time and making it both interesting and easy to follow 🤗 I'm looking forward to your next video 🤗
The AI voice makes a video highly suspect by default, unless it's something like a gaming humor video (see: HowdyBii). If you're getting recommended a lot of digitally-voiced "science" videos, you're probably being fed them by the algorithm because you started watching them in the first place.
5:18 Hey that was my birthday, quite a present, thanks NASA!
asteroids being packed loosely is kinda comforting to know I wonder if that increases our chance of being able to do something if a large one is heading to earth.
That's gonna be an epic Burning Man
Why is footage of random space pebbles so cool? It looks like an unkempt driveway but damn it's awesome
I would again like to commend the camera crew who got these awesome close-ups and action shots, amazing work! They didn’t even fall through the asteroid!
scientists keep naming custom build equipment like they were serial or something just for the sake of a joke and I love it.
The name of the TAGSAM concept was Muucav, which is vacuum spelled backwards since that’s what it is. The first design was a Solo cup and an air compressor on the engineer’s driveway.
ABSOLUTELY BRILL, Very Very WELL DONE I feel totally amazed by all off what was achieved in this Venture please keep it going THANKYOU
amazing task... all the calculations. wow
Love from India 🔥
These videos are actually really nice and calming. thanks for indirectly helping me get through life.
Wonderful information. I'm looking forward to hearing the results of the studies on the returned materials from Bennu. This is fascinating, as is the new journey to Apophis.
We re actually reachin for the stars, and grabbing a handfull.
Well worth the investment I’d say, only going for 60g sample but getting close to a 1kg sample instead, well that just made the original mission cost per gram that much more in the black.
Great report on an astounding scientific achievement.
Magic stuff. Roll on September! Great film.
September 2023! So I’ve got lots of time to wait.
Lockdown has shown that time passes much faster than you'd think.
@@Релёкс84 not really… time is time. Why does fun time go so fast but not fun time goes so slow? 😂
New nightmare of sinking into an asteroid. Like encased in sand and gravel unable to really push material away or use any as leverage. Just trapped in a thick soup of dirt.
Good to know that asteroids are more like sand than rock. Rocks with the consistency of finely powdered snow. hopeful we see some more realistic games or movies with these new asteroids in as I think having a asteroid disintegrate as it hits a ship ad form a dust cloud would look better than a typical explosion
Later ... it worked! The samples were recovered ok. Well done scientists.
Wow! Automated Doordash for asteroid research material!
Makes me wonder if some sort of ramjet scooping device could be used to sample gas from Jupiter or Saturn...
Thanks

Just a curious question - Since it displaced around 6 tons of loose rock, didn't it cause any damage to Osiris?
I like that "NASA poked a asteroid " let there be more poking of more planetary bodies across the solar system, Go NASA.
OSIRIS out there being the chad fighter of the spacecrafts :D
