Woman Bests NASA In Moon Dust Dustup

Sample Collected By Neil Armstrong On First Lunar Landing Mission

A Chicago-area woman has won a battle over a sample of moon dust collected by Neil Armstrong during the first lunar landing.

Nancy Lee Carlson acquired the sample by placing a winning bid of $995 in a U.S. Marshal's auction last year. She sent the sample, which had been placed in a small bag by Armstrong shortly after returning to Earth, to NASA to confirm its authenticity. The space agency said it was their property, and refused to return it.

Carlson sued the agency, and CBS News reports that last week, a judge in Houston ruled that she was the legal owner of the bag of dust.

The sample is currently in the possession of an impartial security company until Carlson determines what to do next.
