TitleLetter from Thomas Gold to Dr Henry Smith, Code SS, NASA Headquarters, Washington DC
Date23 August 1973
DescriptionThought Smith might like to have for his files the correspondence regarding the sorting of lunar soil.

Gold believes that the entire picture the geologist shave made of the lunar soil is absolutely untenable. The cosmic ray evidence and severeal other items just cannot fit into a picture where meteorite grinding of bedrock produces the surface powder. The latest is the chemical difference in the size fractions, which Gold had suspected, and which leaves no doubt that a totally different situation obtains.
