so bennu ssi can a or third generation asteroid. the original asteroid, the proto-asteroid with an asteroid belt broke apart through impact and then small asteroid the ship we call the rubble. think of like a group of marbles stuck together in space. some of those are unstable orbit and coming to a person crossing orbits. they don't stay there very long, maybe tens of millions of years. we are getting sort of a snapshot of things passing through the inner solar system right now, and bennu is a perfect target because energetically we could get there and we could get back with the sample, and from light reflected from the sun that we could see on earth we could tell that it was rich in carbon which is one of our goals. the building blocks of life on our planet, on our unique planet. so it was a perfect target and the mission just worked flawlessly. there were so many things, so many challenges and yet this group of scientists and engineers, and really thousands of individual who worked on this over the course of a decade to make this

we have other samples from bennu . i'm now pleased to introduce the curator of meteorites, tim mccoy who is a member of the o siris-rex team. tim: good morning. i am more than excited to be here today. that's the asteroid would join us here in the gallery of meteoroids that you're standing in, what we're doing today is really just a milestone. it is a start and where we are going. where we are going is to try to use this sample to understand our unique planet. our planet has features that we have not found on any other planet in the solar system or outside the solar system. the meter right, the asteroid sample that we see today is the starting point, the building block of all that. as administrator nelson said, it walked water -- it brought water to our planet, carbon to our planet, organic molecules. our job is to decipher how these things came to form how we live on the planet -- form the planet we live on today. -- including the talented members of our osiris-rex team and those at nasa. i am beyond thrilled. today i
