TitleLetter from Thomas Gold to John Lear, Science Editor, Saturday Review, 25 West 45th Street, New York
Date17 September 1964
DescriptionWhile he agrees with Lear that the Public has been misled about the dangers of a moon landing 'due to a compressible surface', Gold does not agree that 'deep dust is excluded because sharp craters are seen'. Notes lunar erosion rates and suggests that deep dust would not behave like quicksand but would rather be 'crunchy and compressible'.
