  • Fifty years ago next week, Apollo 11 blasted off for the moon. Over the course of the Apollo program, a dozen astronauts made the 240,000-mile journey to the moon's surface, scooping up hundreds of pounds of rocks and soil. Mark Strassmann has a rare glimpse inside the secure, windowless facility at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston where most of those rocks are stored.

    I have a friend that has worked at the vault for many years. She loves her job.
    This place is absolutely fantastic.
    I'm happy it hasn't been shut down by some lunatic (no pun intended) politician.

    I wish they would have explained why the rocks have to be kept in nitrogen-filled steel cabinets. What would happen to the rocks if they were just sitting on shelves in the open air? Is it to protect the rocks or to protect the humans who handle the rocks?

      They do not want to contaminate the rock with the pollution of Earth.
      The moisture in the air will cause oxidation. Nitrogen keeps it nice and dry.
      As far as people touching them, they want to keep the grubby contamination of hands away from them. Skin, oils, germs and all of the nasty we have on us will violate the rocks.

      rocks on earth are subject to tectonic forces and continuously get melted and recycled into new rock. There are very few locations on Earth that do not experience such forces and preserve its rock

      The moon is older than the Earth, scientists are puzzled about it.

    Have the last few rocks been unsealed? What else have they learned. Most of the videos are short clips and don't say much.
