And if it wasn't for some bad code and quality control, we could have a much better idea of what the monolith is[0]. Heck if the Fobos-Grunt mission was successful we could have up to 200 grams of phobos dirt back on Earth right now. This is such a large sample size, that demonstration of these techniques would arguably be an advance for asteroid mining. But alas, space exploration is hard, so we can only hope that the Fobos-Grunt 2 mission happens. [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fobos-Grunt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fobos-Grunt
