I offer a very minor correction to the fascinating article “Making the Moon,” by Dave Stevenson (Physics Today, November 2014). On page 35, Stevenson writes, “the Moon remains the only body from which we have returned samples.” That neglects the Stardust mission, which successfully returned a sample of dust from Comet Wild 2 in 2006.
