TL;DR They were all hype to open this time capsule but there was just mud in it.

    My favorite part:

    "I am sure some in our audience have questions for our various experts up on stage?" Ms Voigtschild said after the mud was found. There were none.

    But it's old mud. You can squish it between your fingers just like they did in 1829. Kinda reminds me of the whole Geraldo Rivera and Jimmy Hoffa's vault it whatever it was.
