OSIRIS-REx mission lands on an asteroid, and then returns to earth with its sample...and people are bitching because they didn't bring back more than they could use anyway? Holy shit, talk about missing the entire point.

Idiots will always idiot. Like the old stories of $3,000 toilet seats that idiots swore were government waste... despite the fact that said toilet seats were on the fucking Space Shuttle (IIRC).

People with zero sense of scale. That's the real issue.
