Hello,

I have a question for the list.

Is there anyone aware of any scientific and/or technological discovery
that can be attributed to the Apollo project? For example, in material
science, was there any development of new materials associated with the
project? In chemistry? What did we learn from the rocks brought from the
moon?

I'll summarize the answers.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Leonardo
