#NASA OSIRIS-REx landing #science #astronomy

Congratulations to the team on this achievement! That said, I want to preempt what is likely coming: amazing claims of finding life molecules on an asteroid!

✨🖖 If they find anything it probably came from Earth. 🖖✨

Earth has had life on it for 4 billion years. Meteor impacts, volcanic eruptions, and the like have all expelled material into space. Some of that material will have landed on our close neighbors. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
