I am with you on this, Lt Col Charlie Brown! Bennu came into our Solar System from somewhere in the Universe...so these samples should give us further insight as to what planetary debris consists of and if it is the same type of material that make up the Earth, moon and other planetary type strata...

Fascinating! What do you suspect the samples will tell us?

THat is a great question, CWO3 Dennis M. - I hope that these samples indicate that the component chemistry is the same on this Asteroid which formed in the vastness of the Universe, is the same as that of the chemistry of the Earth, Moon and other debris we have accumulated from meteor impacts on Earth... That will tell us that the vastness of space and its galaxies are of the the same source... However, if the chemistry is different, it begs a whole new series of questions, which, as yet, we do not have answers for...
