So cool. We are on the cusp of very interesting times in exploration again.
Bennu's exterior were so loosely packed that if a person were to step onto the surface, they might sink in, much like a pit of plastic balls in children's play areas.
No they wouldn't, that thing barely as any gravity and that's why it's so loosely packed. But the visual is fun. Galactic ball pit!
