   As a matter of fact, sample-return missions have been flown. The
Russians sent at least one to the moon, I think as part of their
Luna program (yup, I just checked my Jane's; Luna 16 and 20 were successful
sample collection missions). The thing included a sample-collecting
drill, to obtain surface cores, I think to 14 inches deep.
