NASA Is Buying Moon Rocks, No Delivery Required
Would you offer to buy something on the internet and then tell the seller not to bother delivering what you bought? Probably not. And yet, this is essentially the deal that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is proposing in its latest contract announcement.
This morning, in a solicitation for the "Purchase of Lunar Regolith and/or Rock Materials from Contractor" announced on the SAM.gov government contracts website, NASA sought bids from companies capable of reaching the moon to go there and gather "a small amount" of moon rocks (between 50 and 500 grams -- or a little more than a pound at most) for safekeeping.
