A daring asteroid mission probes whether life’s ingredients came from space.
Follow the Hayabusa2 team as they land on asteroid Ryugu, collect surface and subsurface samples, and confront mission-threatening obstacles 300 million kilometers from Earth. Along the way, the film connects their high-stakes work to one of science’s biggest questions, how the building blocks of life may have reached our planet.
