For those that don't follow NASA and I don't think the media bothered with this at all, here's a NASA probe, OSIRIS-REx. playing tag with asteroid Bennu. In other words, it landed, got a sample and took off again.

I'm glad someone covered this. It's a pretty big accomplishment. Now the wait for OSIRIS-REx to get back here and land safely so the regolith can be analyzed.
