Are there any official ideas what happens to lunar meteorites between being blasted off the Moon and
when they strike Earth? Is it a straight shot (so a low transit time) or do they go into lunar
orbit and then later be captured by Earth, or go directly into Earth orbit, or maybe even a seperate
solar orbit at the same distance as the Earth/Moon system? Or more than one of the above?
