...could be because we have been conditioned by all the dystopian science fiction circulating out there? Gene Roddenberry seems to be one of the few that could write (relatively) optimistic science fiction. Most others are just dystopian wastelands with humans fighting against this that or anything.

Maybe they will discover some amazing shit from the asteroid. Something that will benefit humanity?

I wonder when they will begin studying the samples from the asteroid?
