Well, that sure would be a dream scenario. Other than the Apollo program, only 3 sample return programs have ever been executed sucessfully. There were a few Russian Luna probe missions to our own moon, The Genesis mission which collected particles of solar wind and most recently the Stardust mission which returned samples of cometary dust and minute stellar dust particles. Currently Japan is attempting to return bits of an asteroid to Earth, but that mission is in great doubt. A sample mission as far away as Triton is fantastic considering that we have yet to even try getting something off nearby Mars. Samples of Triton or from the ejection of other moons?
