Re: Mars Sample Return Mission by ESA - 2011 at the earliest
*Go ESA! 
I saw a similar article earlier this morning at spaceref.com (IIRC).
NASA should have achieved this already, but that's not a "grudge" statement towards the ESA by any means.

Re: Mars Sample Return Mission by ESA - 2011 at the earliest
clever idea for a mission but Mars is not an easy place to get a probe, many have been unlucky in the past. Maybe ESa should try comets sample return before mars mission goes ahead?
