Where are the lunar soil samples returned by the Luna program today?


Is there a reason the British spelling for Program is used here? This isn't Cyrillic, so I don't see a reason not to use the more widely used spelling of "program", especially considering that, for instance the Vostok program uses the U.S. spelling. StuartH 13:46, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

In general no dialect has precedence. From the Wikipedia:Manual of Style - Cultural clashes over grammar, spelling, and capitalisation/capitalization are a common experience on Wikipedia. Remember that millions of people may have been taught to use a different form of English from yours, including different spellings, grammatical constructions, and punctuation. For the English Wikipedia, there is no preference among the major national varieties of English. (although there is an etiquette which the manual goes on to discuss). Jll 23:55, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

[edit] overshadowed

"Overshadowed" doesn't imply "better," it just means more attention was captured, which it was.

[edit] Contradiction

This articles claims that over 480 Kg of lunar rock samples were collected by the appolo program while the Geology of the Moon gives this number as 385 Kg. There is a contradiction here that need to be verified. --mexaguil 09:49, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cost in 1969 $

How much costs Luna program, in comparsion with Apollo? This would be worth mentioning. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.144.95.66 (talk) 20:39, 14 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] NPOV

"The Apollo missions returned much more Moon soil. The Soviet program returned 0.326 kg of lunar samples while the US program returned over 480 kg, some selected on-site by a geologist. However, the Luna missions were the first advanced robotic sample-return exploration missions." That's not a neutral point of view. I'm changing it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.121.72.74 (talk) 12:33, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
