Hi Richard and all,
If one figures the cost of going to the moon the returned lunar
material as the only benifit, then the cost of $44,537,594.97 would be
correct. However there were many, many other benifits as well. All of
the NASA spin offs that many of us enjoy today including computers,
the NASA spin offs that many of us enjoy today including computers,
velcrov, freeze dried foods and the list goes on in many ways I can't
list have to also be taken into consideration.
Except that Computers, Velcro and Freeze dried foods where NOT invented
by Nasa for the space program!

I often marvel at some of the things that came about and the massive boom in
tech areas after Roswell.
Regardless of what anyone will say, I firmly think that we did get technology
from the craft we recovered (yeah, we did recover it and it was no balloon.)
Why cover it up? Religion.

Not to ask a stupid question, but, isn't it safe to assume that ice
originating in outer space would never be able to make it down to
earth's surface due to the heat and pressure of the ablation process?
