Why won't downloaded .obj files import?

So, I downloaded this model from the NASA 3D resources (where I get many of my models) and tried to import it into blender using File > Import > Wavefront (.obj) but it just gives me a spinny wheel of death (I’m on a mac).

Any help would be appreciated.

In the obj import settings disable ‘Image Search’. The textures still get imported. Just double check the bump maps as they are excessive (see screenshot)



Where are the .obj import settings?

Right in front of you in the file browser that opens for you to select the .obj file to import
