Live Science · NASA's OSIRIS-REx capsule returns to Earth with a sample from the 'potentially hazardous' asteroid BennuBy Ben Turner

@ScienceDesk highlighting the "potentially hazardous" factoid instead of the amazing science and engineering is a bit clickbaity and disrespectful to the folks who worked on this. This title sounds like a tabloid.

@Artemis201 @ScienceDesk Yes, that language is interesting, as if the entire state of Utah now need to be evacuated!!
