Mars Rocks Are Soon Coming To Earth

When the Perseverance rover touched down on the surface of Mars on February 18th, 2021, a new era dawned for Martian exploration. Aboard the two-billion-dollar vehicle is the Sample Catching System, specifically designed to collect and package rock samples to be stored on the red planet’s surface. But how will these samples find their way back to Earth? Stay put as we explore the Mars Sample Return mission, NASA’s most daring Martian project to date, here, on Elderfox.

    Which reminds me , what happend to the samples taken from the rendezvous with the asteroid ? It was suppose to bring samples back and land in the desert of Utah by parachutes? I always wondered about quarantine? It seems awful risky to return without being checked while in orbit around the earth. They theorize that life may have originally come to earth from an asteroid or a comet. Who knows ?
