Such a cursory examination, of course, could not answer fundamental questions about the age, origin and composition of the moon. Those problems would have to wait for the painstaking studies that will be conducted at the LRL and by 142 "principal investigators" in the U.S. and abroad...
Some scientists are hoping that unexpected clues in Apollo's samples will lead to new and more satisfying theories about the moon's origin.

Nobel Laureate Chemist Harold Urey wryly notes that it would be easier to prove that the moon did not exist than to get agreement on how it came...

The results could clarify whether the moon was a meteorite pulled into orbit by the earth's gravity or whether it was once part of the earth...
