[FPSPACE] Lunokhod 1

[Geert Sassen]

Thanks Igor, that's very good news and glad to hear, items like this
are too valuable and should be restored and put for exhibition.
I received the original link via Sven Grahn from Alexander Dzhulai,
and I copied in this group in the hope that somebody somewhere would
act to preserve these valuable items, I'm happy to hear that that
effort is indeed underway.

Regards,

Geert.
