NASA expert Noah Pietro talks about the Cyrus Rex mission to an asteroid named Bennu .
Noah: Asteroids reflect the very earliest parts of our solar system's history, that they are effectively pristine fragments leftover from the first few 100 million years of solar system evolution and as such as they hurdle through space remain relatively unchanged.
I was really impressed by one of the points in the mission overview, which said that 70% of the sample is gonna be preserved at, I believe, Johnson Space Center .
The valuable thing for Osiris Rex is to preserve everything from fragments the size of a walnut down to things that are microscopic.
The best thing that we'll find is our fragments, potentially water of amino acids that may have been the precursors to seeding life here on the planet, as well as the ages of these of these samples.
I'm hoping that the kids that watch the sample come back will be those future researchers who are in laboratories around the globe studying those fragments.
