From Phillip Clark, Molniya Space Consultancy
It was sad to see Â鶹´«Ã½ repeating NASA’s claim about the last return of extraterrestrial samples being the lunar material brought back by Apollo 17 in December 1972 (18 September, p 8). In August 1976 the Soviet Luna 24 returned lunar samples but NASA has decided this doesn’t count for some obscure reason.
