NASA approves Mars sample return project for next big phase NASA and the European Space Agency hope to bring a small piece of Mars back to Earth, a project that just got a big approval to enter Phase A. NASA announced the decision today, stating that the Mars Sample Return (MSR) mission will ‘mature critical technologies’ needed for the effort, among other things. Bringing samples back to Earth from elsewhere in our Solar System has become an increasingly common activity — China, for exam...
