[i]New samples could be a scientific bonanza for the global lunar research community, but only if China proves willing to share. Talks on potential collaborations and the sharing of lunar samples are already underway between Europe and China as well as early discussions involving China and Russia. ...according to Jim Green, head of the agency's Planetary Science Division. NASA "is unaware of [China's] plans to release samples to a broader planetary science community,' Green says.[/i]
[i]“Sharing lunar samples between nations is good for science,” he says. "It's good for country-to-country cooperation. And furthermore, it helps focus the exploration agenda of the U.S. and China as we return to the moon as a proving ground for sending crews to distant Mars. I believe it's time to seek avenues of space cooperation with China — and exchanging specimens brought back from the moon is one of them."[/i]
