Look... NO ONE GETS TO LICK AN ASTEROID. Just think of the water and organic contamination 😱 If you have to try* then go lick the Ryugu asteroid grain embedded in resin that is on display at Cité de l'espace 🛰️. * They will not let you do this.

I pass by it everyday and I can confirm that we would not let someone lick it! 😷

If no one licks it, how will we know what it tastes like, science? Quest for knowledge my ass

Reminds me of one of my great life regrets - not licking the Shuttle Orbiter ATLANTIS when NASA tried to run me over with it in 1989.

I would pay good money to see the face-off between my toddler (who will lick pretty much anything) and the staff at Cité de l'espace... it's pretty hard to stand between her and something she really wants to lick.

Then clearly a piece needs to be broken off of it that’s just for lickin’. Or maybe just a little smooch if you’re feelin’ bashful.
