![NASA's Plan To Harpoon a Comet](https://hight3ch.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/harpoon-comet.jpg)
NASA is not running short of ideas when it comes to collecting stardust and they certainly don’t need Bruce Willis. The Comet Nucleus Sample Return mission will collect subsurface samples from a comet and return them to Earth. Their plan is to launch a type of harpoon from a satellite that will plunge itself into the surface of the comet, collect samples and then be pulled back to the satellite.
