Pretty amazing stuff to get all that way, collect samples and return them back to earth, hopefully it all remained intact.

The analysis of that material should prove very interesting

Part of you kinda hopes for something like happened in the film "Evolution" just to mix things up a bit 😉

It's a really stunning achievement and they'll be going back out for more after dropping the rocks off!

I have been following the mission with great interest,
all exciting and a great achievement.

Indeed a remarkable achievement, in fact I can’t help wondering how it compares in terms of technical achievement with the Apollo missions.
