Why buy 1gramm moondust for about $4000.- (or 1 pound for $2'000'000)
when I bought 4g Mars rock for $350.- two years ago???

To get the Mars rock I'm talking of down to earth didn't cost a single cent,
by the way. The 18kg SNC-meteorit simply fell out of the sky in October, 1962
near Zagami rock in Nigeria.

Taking all the known SNC meteorites known, there are hardly more than 100pounds
of mars rock available. Thus, $100.000 for a two inch tape of moondust is quite
a high price|| I think I'll wait until a *large* lunar meteorite drops down
somwhere...

So kepp watching out for these space rocks|
