  1. Please get your facts correct. What you wrote is simply not true. What you refer to was totally internal to the family of a former Dutch Prime Minister. At the request of President Nixon, small samples of moon dust collected during the Apollo 11 mission and a small sample of lunar basalt from the Apollo 17 mission were presented to some 135 countries as a goodwill gesture in 1969 and 1973 respectively. Both the Netherlands Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 lunar sample displays are safe and well in the National Museum of the History of Science and Medicine in Leiden, Netherlands and have been since they were presented. Their veracity is not in doubt nor ever has been. In 1992 the Dutch National Museum of Art and History received a donation from the estate of former Dutch Prime Minister Willem Drees which his relatives claimed was a moon rock (and I believe received a sizable tax write-off in return). Subsequent investigation by a geologist reviled that the object was not of lunar origin and was in fact a piece of petrified wood. This had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with NASA as you claim. Take care.

  2. Just for your information, over 500 rock and soil samples are released by the Lunar Sample Laboratory Facility at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas every year to scientists and organizations who wish to study lunar geology. At this stage literally tens of thousands of geological experts from all over the globe have examined the samples, published their findings and verified their origin as lunar. Take care.
