Seven companies spent the summer trying to figure out how to help NASA bring Mars samples back to Earth .
The Mars Sample Return mission would cost $11 billion and take nearly two decades to accomplish.
Independent review found problems with the project's management came at the worst possible time.
Hundreds of scientists and engineers at NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory lost their jobs.
Quantum Space's plan would involve a handoff of the samples from the European orbiter to Quantum 's own moon-orbiting spacecraft that would eventually drop the samples over Earth for a Utah desert landing.
The company is calling this its "anchor leg concept" — a way to cut back on near-term costs of the mission.
