@petergleick I’m glad that the rocks landed safely! So many questions about the far side of the moon and why it’s so different from the near side. Contrasting this with the Apollo samples will make some planetary scientists very happy! Yes, definitely a great achievement. Collected and returned is probably more accurate. I am pretty sure moon rocks have landed on Earth before due to large rocks striking the moon. |
@petergleick Yeah... one which would've been made atleast 20 years ago, if not earlier.
Sorry.
Yes, of course.
