Are we out of lunar samples?

How many grams remain at this facility of lunar samples? Should be in the article if the data is available. Tempshill (talk) 00:04, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added more current info from the NASA site.--agr (talk) 03:35, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But WHERE and WHEN did it exist?

WHERE: I am sorry to be doubly critical, but I believe it would be considerably more helpful if this article included its location. I could tell precisely WHAT it was from its three word name, but I had to follow links elsewhere to find that it was in Houston, Texas, USA. I didn't "already know" this, despite being employed in space-research almost contemporaneously with it (from 1980 in European Space Research and Technology Centre in The Netherlands = part of ESA).

WHEN: Furthermore, this article doesn't include any dates of existence. I incorrectly assumed it opened "Just in Time" for the first astronauts and rocks in July 1969. The article seems to imply that the demise of the LRL was the 1979 opening of a related facility perhaps nearby. However, in about one minute of Google-research, I found this, indicating the LRL "was abandoned" after Apollo 17 in 1973, and was replaced in part by the Sample Storage and Processing Laboratory (SSPL). Rather curiously, it opened in 1967, two years before the first delivery. ChrisJBenson (talk) 08:35, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
