Sounds like the Andromeda Strain.

This is cool as hell
So...it begins...
Thanks for the heads up. Killer pictures. Appreciated.
Drama builds!
Is it like the mysterious Blue Ice that falls from aircraft lavatories?
I have low expectations that there is anything very special about what they find.
But I have high expectations that details will be dribbled out and used as justification for BILLION$ of new spending. After all, “this will likely result in the cure for [* save this space for a horrible disease *].”
“ Nitrogen is an inert gas… “
WRONG ——-
Nitrogen is NOT inert.
Nitrogen is a very active element.
It is an atom in the molecules of most explosives.
So... NASA has a team of engineers and scientists that can launch a rocket from earth, launch a probe from the rocket, land on a meteor half a billion miles away moving at 50,000 miles an hour, take off from the meteor, return to earth, drop a package in the desert, but STILL fail their number one mission;
Making Muslims feel good about themselves.....
(Remember the project engineer who was forced to publicly flagellate himself for the successful Rosetta mission because ehe wore a bikini girl shirt (a woman gave him)?)
Man, those government acronym writers pulled off a big one, figuring out how to subtly name the project, “King of the Underworld.” Ya get it? They’re claiming that Satan was the true creator of the Heavens and Earth, along the lines of gnostic Satanism.
Can’t say that I am fond of that mission’s name.
Everybody got their squeeze handy...
They finally released some news about this probe. Apparently on the outside of the sealed container there was some asteroid material as well. It looked a lot like coal. It had lots of carbon and even some water in it. Lots of neat stuff will be learned here !
