A comet heading for the interior which will pass around the sun in 2024 near the orbit of mercury and then exit close to the earth might be a good opportunity for a ice/comet sample?

Andi: The structure of mysentence assumed people know what a glovebox is. I guess I shouldn’t have made that assumption. I will rephrase.
