But once officials knew the bag came from the moon, they confiscated it as government property. Just like the IRS...................Is there really any difference between bureaucracies?..........

"But once officials knew the bag came from the moon, they confiscated it as government property."Were any of those official NASA kakistocrats prosecuted for their actions? Or serve jail time?

It would be a cool artifact to have on display somewhere in ones home, even as a novelty.

Its like Christopher Columbus selling “new world dirt.”
I have a feeling mankind will be getting back there in the not so distant future.

before it was mistakenly put out to public auction Once again, the passive voice is used to hide or minimize government screwups.

Nope...sorry,that's US Government property.Further steps should be taken in Federal court to relieve this lawyer of it.So she'll be out $1,000.Tough luck.
To: Carl Vehse
Very good question. Apparently, being 'from the government' gives one a superior position in society, with the ability to confiscate property on a whim, with no due process whatsoever.
I'll just keep whistling.

A giant bag of rice could have completely changed the outcome of the story.

Why? The federal government SOLD the dust. Why on earth would it still be federal property?
If the federal government wants it back, it can bid on it.

Moon Dust. It sounds like a Dirty Martini using Grey Goose vodka with a ‘liberal’ splash of vermouth.

Apparently a federal judge doesn’t agree with your statist position.
