I personally found electronics to be a nice way to learn math while still having a practical application for the math you learn, and using it for said application. Instead of just learning the math and accepting that's how it is. It's a lot more intuitive when you put it to real use. And electronics lets you use everything from arithmetic to algebra to calculus and even trigonometry. Depending on how deep you want to go into it. But that's just what worked for me. I did find that the math carries over to physics just as well. People who step outside of their comfort zone are often greatly rewarded.

When he mentions that the sample gathered contains all the elements we find on earth, it's wild to think that, after billions of years of evolution, life on earth has been able to mine, refine and develop those elements into advanced machines that can get that sample, just so that we can essentially go back to the beginning in order to understand what put it all in motion in the first place. It's a little zen, no? And it strongly confirms what I think is the most powerful, and even the most spiritual, statement about human existence, from the late great Carl Sagan: We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.

Well, many things to say. First of all, hire this Ted guy. He's so passionate about his trade, it would be a shame to spare all he has to teach. I don't know if he would be comfy just looking to the cold, glassy eye of a camera, but he'd have a ton of great ideas for a script (well, or whatever you may call several bunches of scripts). Second, nice coverage of the Bennu sample pod screw trouble. It might be easy to loosen a couple of screws, but it's not easy to loosen them while making sure that not even a speck of metal from the threads is going to contaminate the sample. You didn't have to say it like that, you just left the clues so anyone could figure it out. And last but not least, Osiris is not done! Renamed as Osiris-Apex is going to Apophis!

@@glennbabic5954 Since the iron is very reactive, it can be exposed to a lot of things w/in weeks or days as was mentioned. But also, the outside is immediately compromised and cracks and fissures may not allow you to get a pristine sample even on the inside. In space, you can get a better determinant of the proportions of materials inside because you don't have to slice off the heterogenous parts on the outside.

Anything that's sent into space has strict requirements when it's being built to limit contamination. And there are various levels to it as well; satellites will not need as much contamination, but anything that's sent to Mars let's say needs to have very strict requirements so as to not contaminate Mars with Earth biology. I would imagine the same sort of precautions were taken for this mission.
