I like the idea of SCIM. Would it be possible to do an Apollo-style mission where a lander touches down, collects samples, then boosts itself back to an orbiting surveyor which then rockets back to Earth?
As always, thanks for the great articles and up-to-the minute reports, petuniasevan!

I should have said "an unmanned Apollo-style mission."
