Apollo 11's Lunar Samples

First broadcast: 21 July 1969

As the Apollo astronauts head back home, scientists around the globe wait expectantly to begin examining samples of lunar soil and rock. Professor Samuel Tolansky is one of them and, as he explains to 大象传媒 News reporter Reg Turnill, he hopes that the specimens will help to corroborate his own theories about the origin of the moon.

Before he can begin his experiments, however, NASA's own scientists will be screening the samples for any risk of space viruses.
