NASA opening moon rock samples sealed during Apollo 15 as a 3.5 billion year old basalt rock

For the first time in decades, NASA is going to open some ancient

specimens and geologists have put a crack on them with the technology of the 21st century.

A pressure nitrogen-filled test case inside the lunar laboratory in Houston at NASA Johnson Space Center on Monday, June 17, 2019, collected

during Apollo 15 as a 3.5 billion year old basalt rock, similar to rocks made around Hawaii. Has been displayed in For the first time in decades, NASA is going to open some ancient specimens and geologists have put a crack on them with the technology of the 21st century. 

After decades of flip-floping between Moon and Mars as the next big

astronaut destination, NASA's goal is to keep astronauts on the moon

surface again by 2024 towards the White House.

Some clay and rock clocks were filled with vacuum on the Moon - and never came into contact with Earth's atmosphere - or after the splash, gaseous helium was frozen or frozen and then left untouched.

Lab's employees are now trying to find out how good it is to remove samples from their tubes and other containers without spoiling or spoiling any thing. They are practicing with imitation tools and luncheon plays dirt.

About 70 percent of the original halo is in ancient sample vault, which has two combinations and takes two people to unlock. About 14 percent of the white sands in New Mexico are safe. The rest are used for research or demonstration.

Armstrong was the primary rock collector and photographer, Aldrin

collected two main specimens under the surface during a 2 1/2-hour moonwalk. All five later Apollo moon landed long lasting. In the last three - Apollo 15, 16 and 17 - there were rovers who kept the sample collection and coverage area up a lot.
