What is "Missions to and Sample" supposed to mean?
- Aardwolf 6y agoNo, it's "Missions to and Sample Returns from" So in expanded form: "Missions to Nearby Interstellar Objects and Sample Returns from Nearby Interstellar Objects"
- TheOtherHobbes 6y ago"Missions" is redundant, because you're not going to get a sample return without a mission. So "Collecting Samples from Nearby Interstellar Objects" would have been enough to do the job.
- Keysh 6y agoNot really, because "missions without sample returns" (aka "flyby/impactor") is one of the options considered.
- raxxorrax 6y ago[Missions (to)] and [Sample Returns (from)] Nearby Interstellar Objects. "Missions and Sample Returns to and from Nearby Interstellar Objects" is probably what I would have made from that, but no idea if that is allowed or comprehensible. English is not my native tongue and I noticed that I don't understand capitalization as well as I thought. Why do you do that now? Just because it is a title? And why not for to/and/from? Are prepositions exempt?
