years ago
Fifty years ago, astronauts on one of NASA's Apollo missions hammered a pair
of tubes 14 inches long into the surface of the moon. Once the tubes were
filled with rocks and soil, the astronauts — Eugene Cernan and Harrison "
Jack" Schmitt — vacuum-sealed one of the tubes, while the other was put in
a normal, unsealed container. Both were brought back to Earth.
Now, scientists at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston are preparing to
carefully open that first tube, which has remained tightly sealed all these
years since that 1972 Apollo 17 mission — the last time humans set foot on
the moon.
Why so long? To take advantage of the technology of the future — our
present.
"The agency knew science and technology would evolve and allow scientists to
study the material in new ways to address new questions in the future,"
says NASA's Lori Glaze, director of the Planetary Science Division.

外人人警告了，说50年以后再打开。
提前打开，耗子尾汁。
