...wholly new instruments have been included in the ALSEP package: a mass spectrometer to measure the moon's tenuous atmosphere; a detector that will let earthbound scientists monitor the bombardment of cosmic dust particles and micrometeorites on the moon's surface; an array of four listening devices-geo-phones-that can pick up shock waves from explosive charges that will be detonated after the astronauts leave and should tell much about the substructure of the landing site; an extremely sensitive gravimeter that is designed to pick up minuscule variations in lunar surface gravity...

...theory was so unorthodox and tenuous that Hess cautiously called it "geopoetry." It was soon to become geo-fact. After studying Hess's work, a 24-year-old Cambridge University graduate student, Frederick J. Vine, proposed an ingenious test. The iron in the lava from the mid-ocean ridges, he suggested, should be imprinted with the direction of the earth's magnetic field prevailing at the time that the lava cooled off. But patterns in land rocks had already shown that the magnetic field has inexplicably reversed itself as many as 171 times in the past 76 million...

Crossbred from a common tropical rice called peta (meaning seed) and an ancient Chinese variety known as dee-geo-woo-gen (brown-tipped, sharp-legged thing), IR8, as scientists tagged the hybrid, was promptly-and prematurely-labeled a miracle...
