What if an intergalactic porch pirate got to it first and it's just an empty box?

Maybe we're the porch pirates and it turned out to be a glitter bomb and a bunch of fart spray.

Just because NASA has to release information doesn't mean the normal person knows when they are going to do that. It's nice to know when interesting information is going to come out.
