Voted? 😳 Shouldn’t it be just at the correct spot and released based on measurements? Am I missing something?

K Wait, you guys landed a craft of some kind on an asteroid to take a sample and now we're flying at 1.2 million miles back to Earth? But you still can't land on the Moon? Dang I was really hoping for one achievement at a time. The moon landing was a hoax. @elonmusk will do it 👍

TOUCHDOWN! The #OSIRISREx sample capsule landed at the Utah Test and Training Range at 10:52am ET (1452 UTC) after a 3.86-billion mile journey. This marks the US's first sample return mission of its kind and will open a time capsule to the beginnings of our solar system.

After a journey of nearly 3.9 billion miles, the #OSIRISREx asteroid sample return capsule is back on Earth. Teams perform the initial safety assessment—the first persons to come into contact with this hardware since it was on the other side of the solar system.
