月亮灰尘价值百万？
俄勒冈州达尔斯市：一点点月亮上的灰尘正在使佩格·戴维斯陷入困境。几年
前，她的父亲约瑟夫·希里从美国航天局退休时得到的文具盒有可能带有第一次登
月时带回的灰尘以及阿波罗11号登月舱上的微小碎片。当戴维斯女士得知这份传家
宝的潜在价值为100万美元时真是吃了一惊，但是美国航天局却没收了这个文具盒，
声称戴维斯女士要么是在欺骗公众，要么就是在非法出售美国航天局的财产。
“我爸爸实验室里的同事们亲手组装了这个文具盒，”戴维斯女士说，“航天
局虽然大谈任何人拿走月球岩石都是犯重罪，但这个文具盒只是他们对我父亲友爱
与尊敬的一种表示，他们以为自己用的是试验后的废料。”
?THE DALLES, Oregon - A little moondust is getting Peg
Davis into hot water. The pen-and-pencil set given to her
father, Joseph Healy, upon his retirement from NASA years ago
may contain moondust from the first lunar landing and tiny
scraps from the Apollo 11 capsule. Davis was shocked to
learn that the potential value of the desk set, now a family
heirloom, is probably $1 million. But NASA has impounded the
set, alleging that Davis is trying either to defraud the
public or to sell NASA property illegally.
?\"The guys in the lab put it together themselves,\" Ms
Davis said. \"While NASA talks about it being a felony for
anyone to take moonrock, this was a gesture of affection and
respect for Dad. They thought they were using scraps left
over from testing.\" |
