The moon was too big to bring, so it sent a pinch.

Why this card
Japan is launching the first mission to bring back samples from Phobos, a five-year round trip. I chose 2033 so the samples are home and on public display, a near-term, believable outcome. The picture shows a child comparing a single returned grain with a giant model of the moon it came from.
