Good morning RP. Today's video clip (1:55) is titled "Touchdown on Asteroid Ryugu." The JAXA spacecraft Hayabusa2 successfully retrieved a surface sample from Ryugu on February 22, 2019. In April, Hayabusa2 will re-land and attempt to gather a sub-surface sample. The collected materials will be returned to Earth in late 2020. These studies will potentially tell us what materials were available in the early Solar System for the development of life.

「はやぶさ」搭載小型モニタカメラ撮影映像 / Hayabusa2 Touch down movie
本動画は2019年2月22日（日本時間）「はやぶさ」が小惑星リュウグウへの第1回目タッチダウンの際、搭載している小型モニタカメラで撮影したものです。動画の再生速度は実際の時間の5倍速です。 撮影は、2月22日07:26から07:32（日本時間）の間に、撮像頻度を変えながら約5分40秒間行われました。この間取得さ...
Good day, my friend Maj William W. 'Bill' Price. Thank you for posting the NASA video of the day "Touchdown on Asteroid Ryugu."

"Explanation: Last month, humanity bounced a robot off an asteroid. The main reason was to collect a surface sample. Despite concern over finding a safely reboundable touchdown spot, Japan's robotic Hayabusa2 spacecraft successfully touched down -- and bounced right back from -- asteroid Ryugu. Before impact, Hayabusa2 fired a small bullet into 162173 Ryugu to scattered surface material and increase the chance that Hayabusa2 would be able to capture some. Next month, Hayabusa2 will fire a much larger bullet into Ryugu in an effort to capture sub-surface material. Near the end of this year, Hayabusa2 is scheduled to depart Ryugu and begin a looping trip back to Earth, hopefully returning small pieces of this near-Earth asteroid in late 2020. Studying Ryugu could tell humanity not only about the minor planet's surface and interior, but about what materials were available in the early Solar System for the development of life."

Thank you Maj Price!!! This is a phenomenal technical event that should be applauded around our world... Just to be able to get to Ryugu, let alone land on it, is amazing!!! I hope that this scientific missions succeeds 100% so scientists can examine the rocky deposits it picks up and determine how it compares with other deposits either collected, or were picked up on Earth from a fallen celestial body! I really love this type of space adventure... Sometimes I wish I were 50-years younger to follow 50-years more! LOL!
