...distribution of the rocks to investigators around the country for instance would make an interesting tale when considered in the context of NASA's shaky relations with the scientific community. Scientists have complained for years that the manned space program was dominated by engineers. To mollify its scientific critics, the agency set up the scientist-astronaut corps two years ago to train young scientists for field work on the moon and for the earth-orbit missions of the Apollo Applications Program. Not one scientist-astronaut has been assigned to the prime or back-up crews of the next 3 Apollo...
