One of my colleagues is working on an X-Ray scintillation camera which is going on a demonstration mission to orbit the moon and map its minerals. I guess it will find large lumps of very pure metal where the base of each LEM has been left behind. As this is an ESA mission I guess it should be well enough separated from NASA to silence the doubters. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
