Who stole the moon? NASA seeks to understand

Nobody move! NASA announced it had stolen the moon. Oh, you can look up to heaven, you will not notice anything. But according to a report, the U.S. space agency would have lost hundreds of pieces of moon.
Since Apollo, NASA researchers regularly prepared pieces of Moon, but also samples of asteroids, Mars, comets, or even ions from the outer layer of the sun. But then ...
Scientists lose them or make them fly. Between 1970 and 2010, 517 samples have been lost in the wild. Of course, it's not much on the 26 000 specimens on loan. But it is their rarity that makes them unique objects. (NASA has in stock 140 000 pieces of Moon, 18 000 meteorite samples and 5000 samples of cosmic dust and comet).

As a result, NASA will identify the best stock, and implement an annual inventory in order to limit these losses.
