 I'm working from an automatic transcript of a meeting on the new X-ray telescope, XRISM (pronounced "chrism"), which carries an instrument built at NASA Goddard. 

And the conversation now has a surprisingly religious bent 🤣 
 Face that greeted me when I took off my VR headset 😂

 LOOOOOOOK!! That asteroid grain I took to the UK (the one where I nearly couldn't board the plane due to having the wrong seat type reserved for the Hayabusa2 model)? 

It's now on display at the London Science Museum!

I totally brought it there. Me! Yay!
