[FPSPACE] Fw: [HASTRO-L] New California State Historical Resource Site -- on theMoon

[Peter Pesavento]

That the Russians have already sold one of the Lunakhods on the Moon in one
of the Sotheby auctions back 15 years ago or so (to which the owner would be
able to if they have the wherewithal to retrieve it), I wonder how that
would impact these efforts by the CA legistlature, which is perfectly
useless to aid in the solving of serious economic problems the state now
faces.

BBC 1/30/10:
 
 "US 'protects' Moon landing site"
 
 "California has named a new site a state historical resource - despite the
 fact that it is not on Earth, never mind in the US state.
 
 The site where Apollo 11 landed on the Moon in 1969, the first US landing,
 is now included on the state's register.
 
 The unusual move by the California State Historical Resources Commission
 aims to protect more than 100 items left by US astronauts on the Moon.
 
 They include tools, a flag, footprints, food bags and bags of human waste.
 
 The commission said California firms had worked on the Apollo project and
 their efforts had a historical value to the state."
