You should make it more spectacular by sending drones to escort OSSIRIS-REX with omnidirectional cameras to film the operation from close distance and also to observe the surroundings.

Just one question. The asteroid has a slim chance by 2022 of hitting earth. It is a relatively small asteroid. Landing and taking off should probably have cause some disruption into its orbit. This change of trajectory should accumulate on time, higher chances should be that now may have even slimmer chances to hit earth. But will be good if the new orbit is recalculated and the newer chances are analyzed.
