Neil deGrasse Tyson

That's when my worst nightmares begin, because one of the earliest novels I ever read in my life was Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain, where they brought back basically a sample return from, I don't remember where, just from space.

And it had a bug that started killing people.

And so let me ask you, tell me about NASA's protection protocols for this.

So the pictures I saw with people analyzing, maybe your hands were among those, inside that sealed cavity where the dust from the capsule was getting analyzed, that was really just to prevent a sample contamination, not to prevent you from getting some kind of bug.

How much meteorite material did we bring back?

Chuck, very important point there.

So, Harold,

What was your confidence in the structural integrity of Bennu to just come down and do a touch and go?

Did you know enough about its structure to know that that would succeed in advance?

You can't fit a boulder 11 stories high into your canister.

So that's better for you.

That's a success.

That's a success.

Yeah.

So, so you bring it back to earth and now it's, you've got it in the lab.

And so you're a geologist.

I don't know.

Do you guys use microscopes or do you use stuff that dissolves the material and you do mass spectrometer?

What's your, what's a geologist's dream lab when you have something from space?

I have a quick chemistry question.
