Of course I really hadn't thought about this, but if you do put a lunar mission together, and you can bring something back, and you bring back say the flag that Armstrong planted next to the Apollo 11 lander, just what would be the legality of that?

I always thought it would be cool to go see the site but a less scrupulous explorer might do like the British did to the Egyptians and just borrow those artifacts for their museum.
