This canister opening has to be conducted under the most pristine conditions to not contaminate the sample, so this was quite the issue.

Since they couldn’t just take a circular saw and cut through it

And here I was going to suggest some WD-40 or a blow torch could help.

outstanding_bond, rok temu w NASA Selects a Wild Plan to "Swarm" Proxima Centauri With Thousands of Tiny Probes

A very cool idea, however the headline is misleading - NASA has not even remotely committed to running this mission. They’ve selected the swarm project as one of 13 projects in their innovation program and given it up to $175k to study feasibility. That’s roughly a postdoc for two years. This is far, far from committing the hundreds of millions or billions needed for the execution of this mission.
