- You are absolutely correct - that NASA does not necessarily have to be the
- agency that purchases lunar science data from the private sector. Other
- agencies, such as the US Geological Survey, are also under consideration.
-
- However, political realities may force NASA (and one of its field centers,in
- particular) to be the agency with the responsbility to purchase the data,
- under the final version of the Lunar Resources Data Purchase Act.
- Besides, NASA is *already* purchasing science data from space from a private
- vendor.
