History of remote sensing studies of the Moon and asteroids changed when lunar samples were returned by the Apollo 11 mission and many meteorites were discovered on Antarctica starting in 1969. Discovery of the isotopic similarity between lunar and terrestrial materials led us to the giantimpact model to form the Moon. In addition, the existence and nature of space weathering were also discovered in 1993 by analyzing the Apollo samples. Another change occurred in 2010 when the Hayabusa spacecraft returned particles of asteroid Itokawa that proved the identity between many S-type asteroids and ordinary chondrites and the existence of space weathering similar to the Moon. The second sample return from asteroids occurred in 2020 when the Hayabusa2 spacecraft returned samples of Ctype asteroid Ryugu. In spite of some expectations, it was a pristine CI1 chondrite material that was free from terrestrial contaminations suffered by known CI1 chondrite meteorites. Sample return missions drastically improved the accuracy of our knowledge on the raw materials of solar system planets and will surely keep revealing the secrets behind the birth of this special planet Earth. This part of history also teaches us that scientists should proclaim the truth against denial or persecution by others.
