Your claim about Bennu fascinated me...

"The spacecraft risked being swallowed whole by the asteroid as it collected the sample. As OSIRIS-REx touched the ground in October 2020, pebbles began flying about. The timely ignition of its thruster kept it safe and led to the creation of a puzzling large crater 8 meters (26 feet) across." https://www.iflscience.com/nasas-osiris-rex-was-almost-swall...

Wow.
