To me, it sounds extremely interesting, and I am anxious to read more! ( I
can't get enough of this stuff!)
Cheers,

How could this dust be in better condition than Stardust samples when only a
third of it might have been contributed by a comet? How can they be sure
this material came from a comet? With Stardust you know with 100% certainty
where it came from plus there is no terrestrial contamination.
Check out this exact quote from the article:
"When they melted the snow and filtered out anything more than 25
micrometres across, almost a third of the particles they found were from
space."
The whole thing stinks of posturing to me!
