Hello everyone. I just heard on the news that small portions of lunar rocks
will be given to the original astronaut class as well as Walter Cronkite.
This to me seems like a precedent setting alteration of the official
government policy prohibiting private ownership of lunar material. It might
(probably will at sometime) make for an interesting court case. Of course
there may be some "fine print" attached to these gifts that the newscast
failed to mention.
