It did get me thinking and I was wondering if any of you could answer some questions about how Labs obtain lunar samples. In other words, what is the process in obtaining samples from NASA? 1: What paper work needs to be filled out? I would say it's a given that you would need to (at least) turn in a proposal explaining what your study is about, how long you'll have the samples and what quantity you'll need. What else is needed? 2: Are there any official forms? Are they available for public viewing? 3: Do the Labs need to pay for samples in any way? Not to purchase per se, but as collateral / insurance? 4: What NASA official/group/body has the final say in whether your particular lab can have samples or not? 5: How long (typically) is the waiting period? (Assuming there is one) Thanks in advance! I think most of your questions are answered on this site.

I had a thought on the whole idea of von Braun as a hoax collaborator:
Given that von Braun was almost monomaniacally focused on the conquest of space - for example, he left NASA once it became clear no further missions were going to happen - I wince at his probable reaction if officials had told him they were going to fake it, using HIS rockets. He would have gone positively ballistic (pun intended).

In World War 2, Von Braun got arrested by the Gestapo, yes that Gestapo, when he made it known that he wanted to use his rockets for space exploration. I agree, the man agreeing to a hoax is not very credible.
