Well.. not only that - even in inside a spacecraft we are susceptible to deadly cosmic rays and can't stay very long out there beyond the protection of Earth's magnetic field,, which is why I mentioned using machines to retrieve them.

Unclassified meteorites are like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get!

Or would they be drifting too quickly in their orbits to capture with the current technology? Also would decent-sized samples from such captures be available to collectors?
