Maanstof verzameld by Neil Armstrong gaat onder de hamer; guarded opbrengst rond de 1 miljoen euro

De uiteindelijke Koper krijgt een testkit met daarin vijf monsters, waar van four tapes bevatten met daarop fabric correls afkomstig van de maan. This material was used by Armstrong or as a back-up, but it may have mismatched with the other samples of the Apollo missions. Het landt now via a quick omweg onder de hamer, so Bonhams writes in de achtergrondinformation bij de veiling.

The material is named as follows from the period that the period in which Armstrong was born was one kilogram of material sold. Omdat maanstof notoir kleverig is, bleef het vervolgens also aan the most beautiful zak kleven.

The zak, NASA knows what was written, kwam uiteindelijk right at Ruimtemuseum Cosmosphere in the American state of Kansas. Daar nam een ​​former curator het clandestien mee. The curator’s responsibility will be for the right to open the door to the museum’s own property, including the security of the US Marshals, and the responsibility of the American federal government. It was sold for 995 dollars (915 euros) on a new basis.

Right zaak lost

The new one was supposed to be tested by NASA, but there were a lot of changes in the data that were related to the original Apollo 11-Zak with maanstof. NASA said that this was done with stuff in the public domain most of the time, and that the organization had no legal right to claim that it had no right to object. The zaak lost NASA.

De zak zelf, based on the analysis aboveigens vrijwel geen maanstof meer zat, were sold by the new owner near a veiling for 1.8 million dollars (1.7 million euros). The waarde van de nu aangeboden stuffmonsters, the tijdens de by NASA uitgevoerde analysis or a married electron microscoop zijn gelegd en pas later be teruggegeven, schat Bonhams tussen de 735,000 and 1.1 million euros.
