  Given the parent comment didn't mention lube, we can say that there was water to displace in the returned sample: Initial studies of the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid Bennu sample collected in space and brought to Earth by NASA show evidence of high-carbon content and water https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasas-bennu-asteroid-sample-contains-carbon-water/ https://www.nasa.gov/news-release/nasas-bennu-asteroid-sampl...

      The contents spilled out just about everywhere. Spray WD40, reboot, give it a love tap and say “Aayy” with your thumbs up.
