[meteorite-list] Apollo 15 and Genesis Rock

[Rob Wesel]

That account was brought to life a few years ago in HBO's From Earth to the 
Moon. The whole 12 episodes were outstanding, this one was one of the top 
three.

Should be able to rent it anywhere in the cheap section.

Part Ten: "Galileo Was Right"
Music by Mason Daring
Written by Jeffrey Fiskin and Remi Aubuchon
Directed by David Carson

When the later Apollo mission astronauts are required to learn more about 
geology, Harrison Schmitt requests that the static minerology lectures they 
have been enduring be replaced with field work teaching the astronauts to be 
better field observers. Schmitt then talks eminent geology professor Lee 
Silver into training his compatriots to be field geologists. The men are 
skeptical, until they fall under Silver's unorthodox spell and the magic of 
"context." In the meantime, Farouk El-Baz teaches Al Worden how to observe 
from above.
