Just want to let people know that NASA had a pretty exciting finding here when they got the samples back from Osiris Rex, which took a sample from an asteroid called Bennu. And they just released their results here pretty recently, I think yesterday. And they found some sugars in there, which is a building block of RNA and DNA and building block of life. So that was pretty exciting. I think fundamental science is so important not just for understanding the world, but also for ultimately for our economy. (00:01–00:26)
