Science and Luthiery make for a great combination!
That's possibly world view turning stuff. It doesn't get any better!
Good luck with that!

Quoted from the written text of the NPR artcle:
"For a long time, scientists have thought "that the moon is completely dry," says Erik Hauri, a geochemist at the Carnegie Institution's Department of Terrestrial Magnetism in Washington, D.C."

I don't know, but that sound like some cult to me!!! laughing6-hehe :D

Eric - That is so cool. Was it hard to get the material from JSC's astromaterials repository?

Congratulations on the discovery!

You're not far off there!

JSC is notoriously tight with the lunar collection; these glass beads were actually picked out of some soil samples that were loaned out more than 10 years ago. We have another sample request in (4 months ago), but its dragging...

I've already had someone ask about using these for fretboard dots!
