Japanese Scientists Bring Back Asteroid Sample

This is another great accomplishment by humanity but I think it’s kind of dangerous to bring samples down to earth, wouldn’t it be more safe to study it on the ISS instead?

There’s all sorts of critical comments about being space samples to Earth. Some are silly but others sound cautious.

I hope we learn a lot from this asteroid sample. I remember reading about the Moon Landing and the scientists for that mission view contamination as a serious issue. I’m sure the Japanese scientists will have safety protocols to prevent any potential disasters.

I really like science fiction and events like this feels like we are right at the beginning of harvesting off world resources. What do you think?

I am super excited about their upcoming presentation on how they intend to use these samples to create a robot you can have sex with.

I think they made a movie about it. Spoiler alert world ends from alien invasion.

They lost track of the capsule but eventually they found it landed in Australia. This news reminds me of the movie Venom where an alien arrives on earth in a similar way takes over a poor news reporter.

That further down the road. This first batch of material will be used to make cosmic butt plugs.

It was dreamed up way back in 1960...

"The Lonely" is an excellent Twilight Zone episode that leaves Cory a
box containing Alicia, a robot that looks and sounds exactly like a woman...
True to Rod Serling there is a terrific and shocking ending that will leave
you thinking...

Loved the Twilight Zone as a youth.

That was fun to watch. :thumbup

Congrats to Japan on the space work.

The genius of Rod Serling is perpetually understated. I still have not forgiven Disney for turning his ride at California Adventure into a Guardians of the Galaxy ride.

You do not need a Bible, Torah, or Koran. Everything you need to know about decency and the Human condition you can learn from the Twilight Zone.

Watching the New Year's Twilight Zone Marathon was always a big deal for me when I was a teen.

1959, Alan Shepard, Mercury launch. Sixty years ago. Damn. And now we retrieve samples from asteroids and the Voyagers have left the solar system.

Sixty years previous we were in bi-planes.

Sixty years hence, Warp Drive. Hell Yeah!

But only if that sample recovered in the Outback is safely contained. John Carpenter's film still makes me uneasy with the implications. (But when have we ever taken the warnings contained in sci-fi seriously?)
