OSIRIS-REx Will Use TAGSAM to Get a NEO
Gesundheit.
But seriously, folks. In 2016 NASA's going to launch a probe, OSIRIS-REx, to make contact with, and then bring back a sample of -- you guessed it -- a near-earth object.
The object in question is the asteroid Bennu, and the whole operation is described in this NASA video which, I must say, seems to have been produced by whoever it is that does retail store training videos and airplane safety instructions.
But still.
