Default NASA Genesis mission

This GENESIS probe, the one that went out to LaGrange point 1 between Earth
and Sun, collected particles of the solar wind, and will actually return to
Earth in September with samples...

....That's a first isn't it, besides the Apollo manned missions, a probe that
actually returns a physical sample to Earth.

Of course, if bad movies have taught me anything, it's at this point that
the flesh-melting, zombie-causing extraterrestrial virus gets loose on
Earth, but... (kidding!)
