    I can be a bit of a space nerd at times, so quite excited to read about the successful return to Earth of a sample taken from an asteroid that's whizzing around the sun. The mission set off over 7 years ago sent a robotic probe to map the asteroid, collect samples and came back to Earth drop to them off by parachute in a capsule. The probe then turned around and is now heading towards a different asteroid. Cool.
