🚀 Japan's MMX is on its way to Mars's moon Phobos.
It aims to bring back 10+ g of soil by July 2031. NASA paid $87M for ~1.5 g of it.
With Mars Sample Return stalled, that's NASA's only booked sample from the Mars system.

NASA found possible sign of life on Mars, but sample remains stuck there
NASA may already possess evidence that ancient life once existed on Mars, but how to retrieve that data remains another question altogether.
