What's the difference in the parsing it this or that way? It talks about visiting interstellar objects, with sample return. What's the alternative interpretation?
- dcminter 6y agoI think others are getting a sort of garden-path mis-parsing of 'sample' as a verb here: Missions (Plural Noun) To (Preposition) And (Conjunction) Sample (Verb) Where they should have Sample Returns (Compound Plural Noun) My grammatical terms are probably all wrong, but you get the gist. It reads fine to me, but it can be hard to see these hiccups once you've read it the "correct" way. Edit: Also I think the unusually-placed preposition is pushing them that way.
- Gravityloss 6y agoAh, makes sense!
