Moon Rocks!

[Scruce]

Today I was given the news that some rocks from our very own Moon, brought back by NASA (they have not yet said which Apollo mission it was), will be shown and handled by me and my peers at our college.

It will happen on Monday 16th January, where we will get to meet a NASA representative and see what the rocks are like.

I will take photos on that day, and hopefully post a few of them here.

Anyway that sounds great! Somehow things see more real when they\'re not from NASA\'s cameras...

You should show it off to people who don\'t know what it is.

'You see this rock?'

'Yeah.'

'Guess where it came from.'

'Uhh...'

*point at the moon*

*other person is impressed*

Lucky, closest I can get to one is about 10' away in one of the engineering buildings here.

Your name wouldn\'t be Cave Johnson, would it?

The moon rocks were supposed to be given away to museums and schools for the public to see and marvel at.

A lot of them instead have ended up in the pockets of politicians. >

Thats a movie, not what happened.

Also; don\'t drop any! Powdered moon rocks are pure poison!

I hear they make for a great portal conductor though.

Be careful - they might crawl. 8)

The Smithsonian Air & Space museum in Washington DC has a moon rock you can touch. It\'s actually a little worn down now from all the touching.

Arrr!

If you guys can you should look for a geology book called lunar mineralogy (I Think).

It\'s complex but really interesting.

I\'ll find the proper name when I find the book at home.

After a few delays, the Moonrock \'session\' is tomorrow and completely private, which means it will be just me and the NASA representative. I will take photos.

The agenda is:

Rock granules from Apollos 15/16/17.

A meteorite that landed on earth in the 1800s.

A rock NASA thinks is from Mars.

A meteorite that is older than the solar system.

Pics!

Man, my school must suck. Sure, we\'re an elementary school, but we think a used Olympic torch we weren\'t allowed to touch and a paraplegic basketball player are \'special treats\'. I want a hypnotist show!

Apollo 18 is fiction. It\'s not real.*

According to the movie (which I haven\'t seen) the rocks were in fact aliens.

[Plymouth]

So, those must be their space ships and bases, disguised as rocks, an the aliens itself perhaps are 1/10 milimiter high, and thousands of them can fit into one stone. Kinda funny, but you never know.
