Not even surprised that a hayabusa would be fast enough to make it to an asteroid.
Wait til you find out where the "haya" comes from ๐
It just means fast lol. Hayabusa is just Japanese for peregrine falcon, the haya probably deriving from fast, busa being some sort of suffix used for animals, I think (don't quote me on that last bit).
I'm 98% sure my source is correct
