Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 02:38:37 GMT

NASA’s first asteroid samples fetched from deep space parachuted into the Utah desert Sunday to cap a seven-year journey.In a flyby of Earth, the Osiris-Rex spacecraft released the sample capsule from 63,000 miles (100,000 kilometers) out. The small capsule landed four hours later on a remote expanse of military land, as the mothership set off after another asteroid.“We have touchdown!” Mission Recovery Operations announced, immediately repeating the news since the landing occurred three minutes before anticipated.

At this point, their reputations speak for themselves.”The back and forth came in a series of interviews conducted by John Shea, the Chronicle’s national baseball writer.“I know everyone wants to pile on the A’s and pile on MLB,” Manfred told Shea. “But I do think, in fairness, people have to look at what Mayor Thao has done and not done.
