Hi Martin,

make the same math for the lunar NASA samples and ask then the collectors,
why they think that 1500$ per gram for a fresh Moon is expensive.
(Not to think about the failed Hayabusa and an ordinary chondrite...).

Buckleboo!
Martin

I accept Paypal.....

Hi All,

Someone check my math, but I figure that if the Stardust sample return
is priced per gram given a cost of $200,000,000 for 0.028g of material
(based upon the website, and might be rather generous), the price per
gram topped $7 billion!

$7,142,857,143/g to be exact. Think NASA accepts credit cards?

Anyone out there bored enough to calculate ebay's service charge on a
one gram sale?

Cheers,

Martin
