    As a European, I don’t trust the USA either. Maybe even less so.

      I trust scientific data, which, when it comes to Moon rocks, shouldn’t be affected by politics in any way. But it does require scientists in multiple countries to evaluate the data. And that should be as many countries with qualified scientists as possible.

      So it should be studied by scientists from NASA and the ESA and JAXA and others.

        Moon rocks, shouldn’t be affected by politics but they clearly are. The US politicises everything. I wouldn’t trust them either.

          What exactly could they do? This makes no sense. I get the whole idea that the PRC can’t be trusted, but do you think they would fake a Moon rock in some way NASA scientists couldn’t tell or what?

            I meant the US can’t be trusted. It doesn’t matter what they can or can’t do. Cooperating with China over anything is out. The policy is to demonise them at every opportunity.

              Okay, but this is about science, not politics.
