I can't believe some of the things that people do sometimes. Now if someone wants to buy some real moon rocks, leave a message on my profile and I'll get you some for the reasonable price of $50,000 a piece.
Actually in a wild case of research brilliance, Valve is correct in that assertion.Zenn3k said:
Lunar soil somewhat closely resembles a silicon/alumina asbestos-like contaminant in its effects on human contact- other than that, it's a lot like concrete, which is why research is being conducted on its effectiveness as a building material for a permanent Moon base.
Because they're freaking rare and hard to re-aquire. The only moon rocks humans have, were gathered by Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 between 1969 and 1972. Man has yet to go to the moon since. The total amount is somewhere about the realm of one ton.
When Cave Johnson said "7 million dollars of moon rocks" that's a pretty ambiguous statement since each one of the Apollo missions brought back an average of 100 pounds, and each mission cost about 4 billion dollars (unadjusted for era)
If you can do even half that, you'll win the LunarX prize for 15 million dollars. Link [http://www.googlelunarxprize.org/]Abandon4093 said:
Just ask where Cave Johnson where he got his-

"The bean counters told me we literally could not afford to buy seven dollars worth of moon rocks, much less seventy million. Bought 'em anyway. Ground 'em up, mixed em into a gel. And guess what? Ground up moon rocks are pure poision. I am deathyly ill."
On a more serious note, what did the countries do with the rock? Did they just accept the gift, look at it, and throw it away. They should have put in some kind of museum or studied it.

If I was this women I would pretend to go crazy and blather on about some flat earth conspiracy to get the media's attention and make myself seem like less of a criminal.
and since when is SPACE controlled by the USA's government.(there are lots of flags on the moon not just the USA's)

"The bean counters told me we literally could not afford to buy $7 worth of moon rocks, let alone $1.7million. Bought 'em anyway. Ground them up, mixed them into a gel. And guess what? Ground up moon rocks are pure poison. I am deathly ill."
This woman clearly didn't want to make lemonade.

Why didn't she break it into smaller rocks and sell them each for $1.7. I mean, if you can find one person to buy a lump of the moon, surely you can find more.
And for extra irony, if it a non-moon rock, she gets eaten for fraud. The Moon is serious business, it seems.
