OSIRIS-REx arrived at asteroid Bennu this week! It will stay in orbit to do a complete survey of the asteroid. But even cooler, it will get so close to the surface it will touch Bennu briefly and use a puff of hydrogen to dislodge surface material, that it will then collect. After that, OSIRIS-REx heads back to Earth to deliver the sample!
Here is a really cool video on how this little orbiter got to Bennu and detailing its mission.
Soooo the trailer for the next Avengers thing came out. I watched it and, like with IW, I was waiting for that moment…that *spark* where I’d get excited. I wanted to be moved.
…it didn’t happen.
I knew that there was a slow burning out of love but good lord. I didn’t feel anything. I mean, yeah, there’s Tony angst but I just– I expected to feel like ‘oh poor tony’ or irritation or something. There wasn’t even a fraction of a flicker!

With IW I was worried it was going to be a mess (with all the talk of how many ppl were supposed to be in it and crappy blurbs) and couldn’t get excited because of that and I was so very irritated by so many mcu things *cough* Civil War *cough*. With this one there’s just. Nothing. Not even worry.
