Цитата: ЦитатаКто лукавит – американские "научный" агитпроп или африканские ученые, странным образом умолчавшие о величайшем событии в своей научной карьере – участии в программе Аполлон? Везде умолчавшие, – даже на своем родном сайте Кейптаунского университета.

Цитата: Цитата1960's to the Present

In the early 1960s, under Professor L.H. Ahrens, the first holder of the Chamber of Mines Chair of Geochemistry, the then new analytical technique of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy was introduced into the Department. Since that time the Department has been very active in this field and today enjoys a well-earned international reputation. In 1965 the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) Geochemistry Research Unit was founded in the Department, with Professor Ahrens as Director. Research activities expanded rapidly and the production of new and very high quality data on meteorites led to participation in the NASA Apollo Lunar Science Program. Dr A.R. Duncan was appointed as Research Officer to supervise the research into the structure and compostion of the lunar rock samples.
