The capsule began its return to Japan a few moments ago as I write this. Seems like a good time to start a new topic for the much-anticipated final results of this epic mission.
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Those grains look too big to have been missed before launch, most of the capsule appears to be squeaky clean, with a few dust grains in there collected as it landed, well lets hope for the best.

Those grains look too big to have been missed before launch, My association with ISAS profs has been long. What they unanimously told me is this. What one space and astronomy researcher can do during his research life time, at the maximum, is two projects, or even less, given the conception period and subsequent development stages. I have known a few people (both Japanese and overseas on collaboratibve projects) whose projects were simply busted, either from mulfunctioning boosters, or subsequent failures. That is why people take utmost care before launch. Therefore, I do not believe for a moment that there were those Earth originated grains before launch on the cannister. Pandaneko |
