OSIRIS-REx Sampler Unlocked


Three and a half months along, NASA has unlocked but isn't quite into the asteroid sample canister.  Slow and steady progress though, and they're not inclined to make rash mistakes.  Two takes on the progress so far: Science Alert and CNN.  What's been found so far in the dust on the outside of the canister?  Water-bearing clays and carbon, both major components in a box-mix for making life.  Stay tuned.
