You have to watch this video. Sure the breakup is cool but to think it's been cruising our solar system for 7 years and then returning home is what I find really cool.

Is this the same video that was captured by a group of highschool students and their science teacher? In any case, it really is quite a show!
And the payload was supposed to have parachuted to Earth with a sample of that asteroid. That ought to be quite a thrill, if they recover it successfully, to look at a piece of extraterrestrial material that's not from Earth or the Moon! But I haven't kept up with this to know if it was recovered intact yet.

Have you ever been just about to grasp the truth when somebody suddenly yanked it out of your reach?
