Description: NASA's Origins Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security - Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission launched 2016 with the goal of visiting an asteroid called Bennu, grabbing a sample of rocks from the surface, and then delivering them back to scientists on Earth. Last year the spacecraft successfully nabbed a bunch of rocks, and is now heading home. If all goes well, the sample should be safely back on Earth by 2023. In this episode of The Space Show, Motherboard reporter Becky Ferreira speaks with OSIRIS-REx scientists Daniella DellaGiustina, Pierre Haenecour and Andrew Ryan.
