These will be the very first contemporary interstellar dust grains ever brought back to Earth for study. Stardust is not only the first mission to return samples from a comet, it is the first sample return mission from the galaxy.

When I realized when (Stardust) was born, that sort of ignited an interest I had in the late '60s, ... I've had it all my life, having just missed that period.

We're interested in watching the next phase of high-rise condos going up, and we're interested in seeing how the Stardust comes together with their new $4 billion product. We have cash flow we can sit on while we're watching the market.
