NASA Is Struggling to Open Its Asteroid Sample Container

Scientists have collected rock and dust from outside the canister, but the bulk of the sample remains stuck inside.

@nyrath Something from space not wanting to leave the probe container is a new plot. Maybe it feels safer with a few centimeters of titanium between itself and current events on earth?

AntonPNym,

@nyrath I wish I had a GIF handy of the "pickle jar" running gag from "The Orville".

@nyrath Maybe that's a good thing...?

I haven't seen a single SF flick where opening a sample container led to something good.

@nyrath so they need a super pure, clean Phillips screwdriver and Allen wrench. I'm guessing the Ikea versions won't do it.

@nyrath Laughed like a drain.
