Just a lil' bit o' dust, just a lil' bit o' dust...

The Hayabusa sample return capsule made it back, intact, and even the parachute worked. So now, all that's needed is for the canister to have captured just a little bit of dust kicked up when Hayabusa touched down on Itokawa, the asteroid.

Everybody inhale, hold your breath... and open the canister.
