ASU spacecraft reaches major milestone
An ASU spacecraft is reaching its first year in outer space. It's now tens of millions of miles from home. It's traveling so fast, that since we started talking about it 10 seconds ago, it's traveled another 230 miles. FOX 10's Steve Nielsen got a behind the scenes look at why it's so important to explore an asteroid beyond Mars.
