...starting a new thread for Hayabusa's sampling feedback and the return voyage.
After its nail-biting success in November, will there be enough fuel for the Falcon to make it home? -------------------- --O'Dave

There many options. Wait for a while until before than December 10, next saturday to know what will be the final decision for the home return.
1) Travel along with Itokawa and then direct toward to Earth alone (more than 3 years). Their risks are on the power supply or batteries when it approaches to Mars' orbit where there are less sun radiation. 2) Travel alone back home (1 1/2 year). It depends upon to the health of thrusters. 3) Travel along with Itokawa and then wait for a rendezvous probe which will tug it until dropping to Earth. 4) Land on Itokawa and stay dormant upon the future visit. 5) Abandon it to his fate by wandering on the space.
