I bought these scoops to help us clean up a yard that is surrounded by oak trees, which drop not only tons of leaves in the fall, but millions of acorns!! Normally, we rake the leaves and acorns into piles then using the rakes, we gather and balance stacks of the leaves on top of the rake, then deposit into wheelbarrows. The activity alone of using the rake to gather and deposit the leaves is exhausting AND hurts our backs so bad that it is very difficult! I have been seeing people using these scoop tools in their yards, and decided to give this particular style scoop a try, since because of the acorns in with the leaves...I thought this style would be more effective in capturing more of the acorns (and not fall between the "teeth" of other scoop designs) Well...I was right! These Releaf Leaf Scoops are FANTASTIC. They turned a rather physically daunting chore into a much easier one, not to mention we spend literally less than half of the time that we normally have spent gathering up all these leaves and acorns. We are going to purchase another pair for NEXT season!! Wonderful ingenious tool! A "Must-Have" for raking chores! Oh, another thing... In studying numerous styles of these scoops, we noticed that some of them seem to be sold as a single scoop. This is illogical! You need TWO of them to perform the chore they are designed for. These ReLeaf Leaf Scoops come in a PAIR!
5.0 out of 5 starsI bought 3 different styles of leaf scoops, they all will serve different purposes
These are nice compared to other cheaper models and if you wanna do more scooping they have a greater capacity. They are a bit shorter so you do have to bend over farther. Their ends are more even than others that have a scallopped edge. Good high quality plastic, probably means they will last a long time.
5.0 out of 5 starsLawn Care Company Owner Review
I have a lawn care company so to say I have tried everything almost seems redundant. Also, I typically do not get excited about a product because I feel it should do its job. However, these are seriously amazing. Ergonomically they wonderful because the hand part is like a baseball glove. It uses your arm to help support the load allowing a balanced feel to what is being picked up.
Another great feature is when I am trimming shrubs I can use a leaf blower to move the clippings out and rake them up. Then using these and a bag stand, will make child's play out of what would otherwise be a rough task. Picking up leaves is also great in that you can get a great amount, but you can also smash them straight down to compact them in the bag without the worry of hitting a stick and cutting your hands up.
If you pass up a chance to get a pair of these just know us lawn care guys are driving by and just dying to show you how much easier that chore can be for you by using this product.
5.0 out of 5 starsHulk Smash Puny Leaves!
I picked these up to help get my lawn under control. I have several large oaks and a few pine trees in my yard. I saw so many positive reviews that I figured that these leaf scoops were worth a try, and I'm glad I did. The speed in which I can bag yard waste is significantly increased, and I feel much more efficient. I have big hands (I'm a size 14 shoe and wear XL gloves), and these still work fine for me. I strongly recommend that you pick a pair of these up!
Update 1/10/18- I feel like the Incredible Hulk when I use these, but they're amazing. Neighbors ask about them, but I can't argue with the ease of use and overall efficiency that they provide when it comes to picking up leaves. They've held up great and I strongly recommend them.
4.0 out of 5 starsWhat a Great Idea
I like this concept a lot. Every spring I have tons of leaves on our 2 acres with trees. These will help greatly with that cleanup. I've used them once so far. The concept works great. I have large hands and it was difficult getting my hands with gloves into the grips. I'm wondering if a Velcro system for the back-of-the-wrist constraint would solve that problem. Given the time spent getting into and out of them, what one wants to do is rake a bunch of piles, then bring your cart and load it with the ReLeafs. I could get more debris in the ReLeafs than I could with a rake and one hand-- and I could rake the rest with my ReLeafs. It looks like they forgot one when you open the box; but they fit inside each other--easy for hanging on the pegboard in the garage, so that's handy. They may have tried the Velcro option already, probably more expensive to do that, but I think it would be easier to get on and off--at least for my XL hands. They are well constructed, and the plastic is more flexible than breaky--I had a couple of times where one of them bent backwards as I was scraping some heavy debris/tree bark etc. But it popped back immediately, so no damage done. I would have been pissed if it had broken. So far, so good! Velcro option for the wrist brace?
Love these! Lightweight and easy to use. I have a lot of tree debris and weeds on my 1/3 acre lot. These make short work of picking up the raked up piles. And easy on the back.
4.0 out of 5 starsGood scoops
My driveway gets covered in pine needles and cones, and I thought these would be good for scooping up piles of those. I used them for that purpose this morning and they worked very well. I'm a small woman with small hands, and although these are very big I found them comfortable to use with gardening gloves. I was able to pick up the pine needles and drop them into my large yard waste barrel without stuff dropping everywhere. They aren't completely flat on the bottom, so there is some debris left on the driveway, but I am pleased with the job I could do with them.
I think $25 is a bit expensive for these. The plastic is sturdy enough for the job, but they seem like they could crack pretty easily under pressure from the wrong angle. But I chose them because I like the shape, and they seemed to be sturdier than the cheaper pointy hand rakes that are available.

27. The indexing device of claim 25 wherein said programming range is 12 hours.
28. The indexing device of claim 25 wherein said programming range is one hour.
The present invention relates to indexing elements for controlling the sequence of operation of a chronometer-controlled device, and in particular to such an indexing element which is selectively programmable for actuating a switch means in the chronometer.
An indexing element in the form of a disc, particularly for use in switch clocks, is disclosed in German OS No. 2,813,069. The indexing disc disclosed therein is manufactured from thermoplastic material by injection molding and exhibits cam-like switch fingers connected to the indexing disc in the form of thin lamellae so as to form a one-piece structure. In order to program the indexing disc, the fingers are pressed axially behind an annular retaining edge of the indexing disc against a restoring force resulting from the elastic spring characteristics of the lamellae. Depression of a selected finger causes actuation of electrical contacts of a stationary switch means as the disc is rotated.
The conventional indexing disc described in German OS No. 2,813,069 has the disadvantage of requiring relatively involved tooling steps for manufacturing the disc. Moreover, the economically attainable width or division of the individual switch fingers, which determines the minimum chronological graduation between two switch instructions relative to one another, are relatively large such that the minimum time unit division available for programming is relatively large and is thus frequently not sufficiently fine to satisfy operating requirements.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an indexing element for controlling the sequence of operation of a chronometer-controlled device which can be economically manufactured and which has divisions between successive switch fingers sufficiently small to chronologically program fine time unit steps.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an indexing element wherein the individual switch fingers can be programmed and subsequently cancelled individually or as part of a complete switching program.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an indexing element which permits resetting of the switch fingers to an initial, nonprogrammed position individually and in combination.
The above objects are inventively achieved in an indexing element in the form of a disc or an endless tape comprised of flexible foil, an edge of the indexing element being provided with a plurality of incisions which are uniformly spaced from one another so as to form a plurality of switching tabs exposed between successive incisions. The indexing element has a unitary structure with the free ends of the switching tabs being depressible behind a retaining edge connected to the indexing element for the purpose of programming.
The indexing element may be manufactured of metal or a synthetic foil, having a thickness in the range of approximately 0.3 through 0.6 mm. The exposed switch tabs at the edge of the indexing element formed by the incisions can be disposed in very tight proximity to one another such that a division of approximately 0.3 mm can be achieved if the indexing element is in the form of a disc having a diameter of approximately 65 mm. Thus a sufficiently fine subdivision step can be achieved which, related to a cyclical movement of the indexing element (one revolution per week if the indexing element is a disc) permits a programmable switching time spacing between two switching instructions of 15 minutes.
Sensing of the programmed switch tabs for actuating a switch means can be undertaken mechanically by means of a ratchet mechanism, may be undertaken electrically by means of a wiper, or may be undertaken opto-electronically by means of a light barrier.
The indexing element disclosed and claimed herein can not only be simply and economically manufactured by stamping or injection molding, particularly in the embodiment of the indexing element comprised of synthetic material, but also exhibits a sufficiently small division of the individual switch tabs relative to one another such that fine-stepped programming can be attained therewith. Additionally, the switch tabs are easily programmed by simply pressing a free end of a tab behind a retaining element by means of an auxiliary awl-like tool. In order to cancel portions of a program, the individual switch tabs comprising the portion of the program to be cancelled can be simply individually pressed in an opposite direction to return the tabs to their initial unprogrammed position. If cancellation of the entire program is desired, the retaining element can simply be pressed downwardly thereby releasing all of the switch tabs and permitting the tabs to spring back to their initial unprogrammed position in the plane of the indexing element.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An indexing element in the form of a disc 1 constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention is shown in FIG. 1. The disc 1 consists of flexible foil of a metallic or synthetic material and may have a thickness in the range of approximately 0.3 through 0.6 mm. The indexing disc 1 has a plurality of finely spaced radial incisions 2 having a small division relative to one another in the range of approximately 0.3 through 2.5 mm. The incisions 2 expose lamella-like switch tabs 3 which are connected at one end to the indexing disc 1 thereby forming a unitary structure. If the indexing disc 1 has a diameter of, for example, 60 mm, the incisions 2 may be in the range of 4 through 5 mm in length. This length accordingly corresponds to the free length of the switch tabs 3. The incisions 3 may be manufactured without material erosion, however, it is preferable to provide a small air gap between the individual switch tabs 3 in the area of the incisions 2, the air gap proceeding along the entire incision depth.
The flexible foil comprising the indexing disc 1 is springy and elastic. The unloaded or unprogrammed idle position of the switch tabs 3 is flush with the remainder of the indexing disc 1.
The indexing disc 1 with the switch tabs 3 may be manufactured by stamping or, if the disc 1 is comprised of synthetic material, may be manufactured by injection molding.
As shown in FIG. 2, the indexing disc 1 is seated on a retaining element 4 in the form of a ring with the switch tabs 3 resting against the retaining element 4. The retaining element 4 can rotate with the indexing disc 1, or may be disposed stationary relative thereto. The spatial disposition of the indexing disc 1 relative to the retaining element 4 in FIG. 2 shows the unprogrammed condition of the switch tabs 3 of the indexing disc 1 relative to the retaining element 4.
When the indexing disc 1 is to be programmed, selected individual switch tabs 3 are depressed in conformity with the switching program behind the interior lower edge 5 of the retaining element 4, as shown in FIG. 3. Such programming of the switch tabs 3 can be undertaken with a pointed pin, a pencil, a ballpoint pen, or any other awl-like tool, or with a specially designed programming means which can be attached to the indexing disc 1 and the retaining element 4 for programming the indexing disc 1 and thereafter removed. Such a programming means is shown in FIG. 3 referenced at 6 and is attached so as to be rotatably disposed in the area of the circumference of the indexing disc 1 on the retaining element 4. Further details of the programming means 6 are described below in connection with FIG. 9.
FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing a programmed or depressed switch tab 3. In such a programmed state, the switch tabs 3 may be sensed by any number of means. As shown in FIG. 5, such sensing may be undertaken by a direct mechanical displacement of a sensing finger 4 connected to a switching device, such as a ratchet mechanism, of the type well known to those skilled in the art and not illustrated in greater detail. For this purpose, the indexing disc 1 with the programmed switch tabs 3 rotates past the sensing finger 7. Movement of the sensing finger 7 upon encountering a depressed switch tab 3 causes electrical contacts to be actuated in the switching device connected thereto. Depending upon the particular application of the indexing device disclosed herein, a depressed or programmed switch tab 3 may initiate a switch-on function, while the unprogrammed switch tabs 3 may initiate a switch-off function, or vice versa.
As shown in FIG. 6, the programmed switch tabs 3 may be electrically sensed by a wiper 8. Such electrical sensing may be undertaken directly, if the switch tabs 3 are themselves electrically conductive, or may be undertaken indirectly as shown in FIG. 6. In the indirect case, the wiper 8 closes a contact 9 when engaged by one of the depressed switch tabs 3. It will be understood by those skilled in the art, however, that engagement of the wiper 8 with a depressed switch tab 3 may open a normally-closed contact, or may cause switch-over of a movable contact between two stationary contacts.
Two embodiments for opto-electronic sensing of the switch tabs 3 are shown in FIG. 7 and 8. The first embodiment shown in FIG. 7 includes a so-called reflection light barrier 10 having a light emitter 14 and a light receiver 15 which respectively direct light toward and receive reflected light from a depressed switch tab 3 on the indexing disc 1. For this purpose, a reflective surface 11 may be provided on the underside of the switch tabs 3. A slotted mask 12 may also be disposed between the tabs 3 and the light barrier 10.
A second opto-electronic sensing embodiment for use in combination with the indexing element 1 disclosed and claimed herein is shown in FIG. 8. In this embodiment, the switch tabs 3 are coated with opaque material and the light source 14 and light receiver 15 are disposed such that only a programmed or depressed switch tab 3 permits transmission of light between the source 14 and the receiver 15 through a slotted mask 12. In this embodiment, the retaining element 14 is also opaquely designed.
A programming means 6 for programming the indexing disc 1 is shown in detail in FIG. 9. The programming means 6 has a carrier body 6a having two programming pins 17 slidably extending therethrough on opposite sides of the indexing disc 1. Each pin 17 has a spring 17a coiled thereabout and a push-button cap 16 mounted at one end thereof. The pin 17 disposed at the top of the indexing disc 1 is for programming the indexing disc 1 by depression of the push-button cap 16, and the pin 17 disposed beneath the indexing disc 1 is for cancelling a previously-programmed switch tab 3 by depression of the lower push-button cap 16. The programming means 6 may be stationarily disposed with respect to the chronometer device in which the indexing disc 1 is utilized or may be rotatably mounted relative to the indexing disc 1. The indexing means may also be portable so as to be attachable to the indexing disc 1 for the purpose of programming or cancelling a program, and may thereafter be removed.
An indexing disc 1 connected in combination with a dial face 18 with a corresponding dial face division for a particular rotational speed of the indexing disc 1 of one revolution per week is shown in FIG. 10. The switch tabs 3 are accordingly fine-stepped, that is, designed and disposed with small divisions relative to one another. As also shown in FIG. 10, the retaining element 4 in the form of a ring may be comprised of a selected number of individual segments 19 (seven such segments in the embodiment of FIG. 10). For the purpose of cancelling the switching program, each individual segment 19 may be manually axially displaced. The individual segments 19 are seated so as to be axially resilient. The sector width of the individual segments 19 may, for example, correspond to the program range of one day, 12 hours, or one hour. For this purpose, it is necessary that coincidence between the indexing disc 1 and a particular segment be observed, particularly when the retaining element 4 is stationarily disposed relative to the indexing disc 1. If the retaining element 4 has positive entrainment, such a setting will not be required.
The use of an indexing disc 1 in a switch clock is shown in FIG. 11. The indexing disc 1 is seated on a shaft 20 which is driven by a suitable timer means of the type known to those skilled in the art and not shown in greater detail. An analog dial mechanism 21 having a minute hand 22 and an hour hand 23 is coaxially connected to the indexing disc 1. For this purpose, the indexing disc 1 may be in the form of a ring rotatable around the dial mechanism 20. The retaining element 4, closed at the front side thereof, may be transparent in order to permit a dial face on the indexing disc 1 to be viewed. An opto-electronic sensing means of the type shown in detail in FIG. 7 may be employed.
In a further embodiment of the invention, the indexing element may be in the form of an endless tape 1a as shown in FIG. 12. In this embodiment, the endless tape 1a has a plurality of incisions 2 at one edge thereof. The switch tabs 3 formed between the incisions 2 are programmed by depressing the switch tabs 3 beneath a stationary guide rail 24. The guide rail 24 is axially displaceable so that the entire program may be cancelled by axial displacement of the guide rail 24.
In all embodiments of the invention, the retaining element 4 may form a unit with a housing for the indexing element, and in fact may be manufactured therewith as a unitary structure.
As shown in FIG. 2, the interior surface 25 of the retaining element 4 may be angled outwardly having a smallest diameter at the lower edge 5 such that the surface 25 forms a thin truncated cone of increasing diameter in a direction away from the disk 1.

Marley Corbett (Kate Hudson) is a quickwitted, carefree ad executive living in New Orleans, who embraces her easy going attitude, shuns any major responsibilities, and gains support and strength from a close circle of friends. She also enjoys casual dating and refuses to fall in love. One day, after an appointment, she is told by Dr. Julian Goldstein (Gael García Bernal) that she has terminal cancer. He is deeply impressed by the way Marley accepts the news with humour and dignity. While under anesthetic, God (Whoopi Goldberg) appears to Marley in heaven and asks her to make three wishes. She chooses to fly, to win a million dollars (not tax free), and a third that is later revealed.
Marley tells her friends the news, including her parents who separated years earlier and don't speak now. Her mother (Kathy Bates) is persistent and overbearing, and instantly begins to smother Marley by visiting too often and making her meals to keep her strength up. Marley's father (Treat Williams) is the opposite; distant and reserved, and doesn't seem bothered with reconnecting with Marley with the time she has left. While driving through town one morning, Marley and her friend Sarah (Lucy Punch) decide to take part in a radio call game where the 97th caller wins a prize. They get through and Marley is told she's won flying lessons - her first wish granted. Her other friend Renee (Rosemarie DeWitt) is pregnant with her second child.
As the weeks go by, Marley's health starts to deteriorate and she visits Julian more and more. One night, they see each other at a band night at their local bar and decide to spend the rest of the night by going on a date. They start to develop feelings for one another.
Marley tells her boss about the cancer and he asks her about her life insurance plans, since their company has a policy that anybody who has a life-threatening illness can cash out, gaining a million dollars ($500,000 dollars after tax) instantly - her second wish.
After another date, Marley and Julian sleep together and begin a relationship. However, she soon starts to feel dismayed when she comes to the realisation that they won't have a future together, and flees quickly one morning before he wakes. That afternoon, they argue in the park and Marley breaks it off. She becomes distant from and jealous of her friends who are all going through positive changes. After visiting heaven in her dreams for a second time, God makes her realise that she needs to cherish what she has while she's still alive and, for the first time, Marley admits to being in love. Later that day, she visits Julian to rekindle their relationship, apologizes to the friends she has pushed away and even makes peace with her father.
At home over the following weeks, Marley is able to do nothing but lie in bed, and starts focusing on all of the things she is going to miss. She writes cards for special occasions she won't be around for in the future and writes letters to her loved ones, giving them all to her mother for her to give out at the right times.
One morning, Marley and Sarah sit in the park. Marley confesses to Sarah that she is no longer afraid to die, even though Sarah is terrified at the prospect of having to live without her. Marley drifts off and Sarah is unable to wake her. Knowing it's almost time, Marley is visited by everyone in the hospital who surround her bed and wait with her until the end. The exception is Renee, who is in labor with her son. Julian makes it in the nick of time to say goodbye and, in that final moment, Marley realizes her third wish was to fall in love. The film ends with Marley's funeral, a colorful celebration of her life with all of her friends and family.

BBC News - Could electric cars reduce China's smog?
BBC News, Shenzhen, China
Vehicle exhaust accounts for up to half of the pollution in China's cities
"Particulate Matter 2.5" is now, it seems, officially an enemy of the people.
The harmful, tiny pieces of matter, up to 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5 for short), are too small to be seen by the naked eye, but big enough to make it into the outgoing Chinese premier's final speech to parliament this week.
In his swansong after a decade in power, Wen Jiabao noted that the government had started releasing PM2.5 data and said more needed to be done to bring China's serious air quality problem under control.
So with the issue of pollution so high on the agenda at the annual parliamentary session, some are wondering what possible solutions might be in the pipeline.
One might very well be a renewed effort to kick-start the electric car industry. Some reports suggest that the generous subsidy scheme for battery-driven vehicles will be expanded from the present five cities to 20 more.
But BYD Auto Company in the southern city of Shenzhen is just one electric vehicle maker hoping that the time is now ripe for the government to step up its efforts.
BYD is making electric cars but as yet not selling in great numbers
The company rose to global prominence in 2008 when venture capitalist Warren Buffett bought a 9.9% stake.
"I think that when you talk to a regular Joe about electric vehicles he is excited but when you ask Mr Joe to buy one, he's nervous," said Isbrand Ho from BYD's Auto Export Trade Division.
"We call that 'range anxiety'. How far will my vehicle go?"
The answer for an e6 is well in excess of 300 km (190 miles) on one charge.
That is the sort of number that might just start looking attractive to less price-sensitive customers but China still doesn't have anything like enough charging stations to make the car a practical choice.
Last year, BYD sold only 1,700 electric cars in China. Isbrand Ho tells me that at that volume the car is inherently expensive, due to the economy of scale.
What they need, he says, is for production to get above a certain threshold, and then costs will come down.
Taxi source?
And there may yet be one way to do that. When it comes to deciding what kind of cars are on the road China has a number of advantages over some other governments.
Demands from the Chinese public for air pollution to be tackled are getting louder
Firstly, the luxury of unchallenged, centralised decision-making power. They can easily just build more charging stations. And secondly, an awful lot of vehicles.
In Shenzhen, BYD has found one willing customer; the public transport system.
The company aims to triple its sales this year by selling 2,000 electric buses and 6,000 e6 cars to the city's partly state-owned taxi companies. If copied nationwide, then China's sales of battery cars might not look quite so weedy.
For China, the costs of its decades-long economic rise are beginning to loom very large indeed.
Public discontent over a range of grievances is mounting; income disparity, corruption and pollution are often cited as the main ones.
The issues are complex and structural and there are no quick fixes, but the government needs to be seen to be doing something.
More than one million new fuel-engine cars pour onto China's roads every month, and vehicle exhaust now accounts for up to a half of those PM2.5 particles.
That is why they made it into Wen Jiabao's speech and why, as leaders meet for the annual parliament, some are expecting the Communist Party to make a renewed effort to give battery power a boost. More on This Story

NASA might bring pieces of Mars to Earth in a Darth Vader helmet | Fox News
NASA might bring pieces of Mars to Earth in a Darth Vader helmet
By Meghan Bartels | LiveScience

WASHINGTON — Scientists studying Mars have wanted pieces of the Red Planet here on Earth for decades, and they are finally getting their shot at designing a mission to acquire such souvenirs.
The Apollo program's legacy of carefully collected moon rocks here on Earth reshaped the science of the moon and Earth alike. A Mars sample-return mission could offer the same sort of potential, but the Red Planet is a more daunting target than the moon. More daunting but well worth the effort, Brian Muirhead, who is leading the effort to develop a Mars sample-return mission at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, said in a presentation here at the 70th International Astronautical Congress.
"It's the consensus of science community today," Muirhead said, "that if we're going to answer the hardest questions about Mars — like, for example, whether life showed up on Mars — we're going to need to bring material from Mars to our terrestrial laboratories."
Related: In Photos: NASA's Mars 2020 Rover Mission to the Red Planet
Arranging a mission to bring the samples back is a challenge, one that NASA intends to tackle in a partnership with the European Space Agency. "This process is remarkably interrelated, everything is connected to everything else in some way," Muirhead said. There are a host of spacecraft components: NASA's Mars 2020 rover to select the samples, a "fetch rover" to pick up those samples, a rocket to launch them off the Red Planet, a capsule to bring them back to Earth.
Mars 2020 will depart next summer and head toward Jezero crater for a February 2021 landing. It will be conducting its own investigations and stashing away intriguing rocks for its successor to bring home.
That mission could launch in 2026, Muirhead said. The mission's early days would be fairly typical for any Red Planet mission. One of the first key challenges of the mission is for spacecraft engineers to land much more weight on Mars than previous missions have done. That will stretch out the anxiety-inducing landing process that haunts Mars spacecraft personnel, as the vehicle risks crashing into the surface.
"Once at Mars, we're going to do entry, descent and landing, our famous seven minutes of terror," Muirhead said. "We're going to make that probably about eight or nine minutes of terror." But he said the team has found a way to deliver significantly more bulk to the surface safely than the techniques that NASA will use to land the Mars 2020 mission.
Once that spacecraft lands, it will deploy the fetch rover, which will drive out to collect the sample containers Mars 2020 has so carefully prepared. The fetch rover will be smaller than that machine and Curiosity — more like the size of Spirit and Opportunity, Muirhead said.
The fetch rover is inspired by the Rosalind Franklin rover that the European Space Agency is sending to Mars on a similar timeline to Mars 2020, but it will end up looking very different from its older sibling. "ExoMars is a serious science rover; this is a speedster," Muirhead said. "That's a fast-moving, highly autonomous rover," he said of its planned travel stats.
Next on the task list is to pack up the samples for the long journey to Earth. Scientists are designing a return capsule that can safely carry as many as 30 rock samples and two air samples. "All of that fits into Darth Vader's helmet," Muirhead said, referring to the shape of the container, which will then itself be packed into a capsule for the long voyage. At around this point of the mission, the sample container will be sealed and sterilized to make sure no loose Martian material sneaks free on Earth.
While plenty of spacecraft have journeyed out to the Red Planet, none have ever retraced their steps. "To fly to Mars, that one-way trip is fairly traditional," Muirhead said. "It's the return trip that's particularly challenging." The vehicle will rely on electric propulsion to make its way to Earth, where it will eject the sample assembly in 2031.
The team doesn't want to use parachutes, which Muirhead called "notoriously tricky"; instead, the capsule will navigate its own way through Earth's atmosphere. That means the vehicle will need to carefully slow down enough not to splatter on the surface, but not slow down so much that atmospheric friction burns it.
At the end of his presentation, Muirhead tackled several questions from the audience quibbling with specific aspects of the mission design under discussion. One audience member expressed dismay that the return capability would not test the sorts of vehicles that could bring humans home. Another thought the mission could be cheaper if it ignored the risk of letting Martian material loose in Earth's biosphere.
In both cases, Muirhead emphasized that a Mars sample-return mission would be about the scientific secrets held in those samples. "This mission is about bringing samples back," he said with regards to planetary protection. "From an architecture point of view and from ensuring the integrity of the science samples, I'm not sure there's a much simpler solution than the one we're considering."

Billboard Ridiculing Helms Is Removed by Company - The New York Times
Archives|Billboard Ridiculing Helms Is Removed by Company
https://nyti.ms/29wwcXk
By ROBERT REINHOLD AUG. 17, 1990
August 17, 1990, Page 00003 The New York Times Archives
The controversy over artistic freedom and Senator Jesse Helms has now expanded to billboards. A huge billboard rented by an artist to heap ridicule on the North Carolina Republican was taken down today by the billboard's owner, a subsidiary of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing in St. Paul.
The artist was crying ''censorship'' today. It was another example, he said, of the fear that Mr. Helms's attacks on some Federally subsidized artworks have produced. The company said it was merely a matter of questionable taste. In either case, it meant plenty of free publicity for Robbie Conal, a self-described ''guerrilla artist'' whose stock in trade is satirizing public officials.
The billboard went up Aug. 8, high above Santa Monica Boulevard in this small city, a center of Southern California's gay community, adjacent to Los Angeles. The board, designed by Mr. Conal, superimposed a twisted portrait of Mr. Helms on an artist's palette, with the thumb hole in the senator's forehead. ''Artificial Art Official'' was the accompanying inscription. Mr. Conal, who had rented the board for three months with his own money, said at the time that it ''captured the scary, totalitarian image I was aiming for.''
Officials at the National Advertising Company in Chicago, the 3M subsidiary, saw it differently. It has a policy that any advertising material that touches on such issues as abortion, birth control, sexual matters or ''anything'' that ''could cause controversy'' must have the approval of the company's national marketing director, Jim Shaheen.
Kenneth Froslid, a spokesman for 3M, said the local manager here rejected the original version, which described Senator Helms as ''Holy Homophobe.'' Mr. Shaheen did not see the original or the final version, he said, but when he did this week he ordered it taken down.
''This is an example of exactly the problem I was trying to critique on my board - the element of fear that has crept in,'' Mr. Conal said. ''Even giant corporations would practice censorship. I am sure they will correct it when they read the First Amendment.''
Mr. Froslid said it was merely a matter of routine review of advertising copy. ''Like any other publisher, we have to come to grips with questions of taste,'' he said, adding: ''It is a matter of judgment and taste. This was a hole in the head with a palette around it. Different people would view it differently.''
Denies Any Complaints
He denied that the action resulted from any complaints. ''We have not received any calls from Jesse Helms or any of his staff,'' he said. ''I can assure you of that.''
Mr. Conal, who works out of a studio in the Venice area, called the work ''just a picture of an ugly old stuffy white bureaucrat with a hole in his head.''
This is not the first time he has run into difficulties with the authorities, public and private. In 1988 the Los Angeles Department of Public Works took action against him for plastering traffic-light switch boxes with his satirical portraits of political leaders. He resolved this ''matter of guerrilla etiquette,'' he said, by agreeing not to deface public property; instead he defaces private property by using walls at construction sites.
''I'm an artist doing art in the public arena,'' said Mr. Conal. ''I was trying to go straight. This was very legal. This was very unusual for me.''
