Why do so many science types grow facial hair? I can usually tell a mans profession and his political leanings by his facial hair.

Brownlee sounded relieved this morning.
Aerogel is strange stuff. Like jello, but not much heavier than smoke. Would be interesting if they found a bacterium in that. Brownleee would be pleased at that.

This image released by NASA shows the Stardust Capsule return
as seen from NASA's DC-8 Airborne Laboratory. The light
emitted by the fireball is caused by the capsule streaking through
the sky. "Stardust" safely returned to Earth carrying precious
samples of dust from stars and comets that could offer vital clues
about the solar system's origins.(AFP/NASA/ARC-HO)

Framegrab from NASA television shows scientists approaching the Stardust comet capsule after it landed safely in the Utah desert. "Stardust" safely returned to Earth carrying precious samples of dust from stars and comets that could offer vital clues about the solar system's origins.(AFP/NASA-HO)

My guess would be "low maintenance".

I wonder what temps the comet dust was exposed to during reentry and whether there was a chemical alteration.

Early Sunday, that capsule nose-dived through Earth's atmosphere at a record 29,000 mph, the fastest return for a man-man probe.

Did it land on Brokeback Mountain?
