[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1022153, member: 175144"] but then auctioned off. Something's fishy about this. [i]After the spacecraft returned to Earth, nearly all the equipment was sent to the Smithsonian museums. However, the bag was left in a box at the Johnson Space Center because of an inventory error. It was then misidentified during a government auction, selling for just $995 to a lawyer form Illinois in 2015. Nasa later tried to get the bag back, but earlier this year a federal judge ruled that it legally belonged to the buyer, who then offered it for sale at Sotheby's.[/i] [URL='http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40677650']Moon dust bag sold for $1.8m at New York auction - BBC News[/URL] [/QUOTE]
