That's a interest project, i'm not so sure its a wise move bring stuff back from a asteroid though, the space lab would be a better place......

They have done it before with Hayabusa1.

Not sure what the objection is. Is it because of the possible introduction of ancient organisms? Surely Earth bacteria has an equal chance of killing it as it does Earths? Secondly we have brought back hundreds of kilos of Moon rock that has been impacted by countless possible bacteria contaminated asteroids and there has been no odd affects thus far...........
