Michael Zolensky Samples Quotations

They are very small rocks, but they are rocks nonetheless. And what do these minerals tell us about how these grains form? We think that much of the Earth's water and organics ... perhaps came from comets. So what will these samples tell us about basically where our atoms and molecules came from and then how they were delivered to Earth and in what amount?

By this week, more than 200 samples will be circulating. Everyone who wants one, and who is qualified to do the analysis, will have one.
