A gripping and revelatory first-hand account of NASA''s historic OSIRIS-REx mission to return an asteroid sample and unlock the mystery of formation on life on earth braided with the remarkable life story of the mission''s leader, Dr. Dante Lauretta. On September 11, 1999, humanity made a monumental discovery in the vastness of space.

Scientists uncovered an asteroid of immense scientific importance--a colossal celestial entity.
