Read my post VERY carefully. I spoke of the first FOUR robotic landers on the Moon. THEN I said NONE of those I mentioned returned Lunar samples.
This is still a true statement. Reading is fundamental.
THOSE four occured prior to Apollo 11.
Subsequent Soviet return missions, that whopping few ounces of soil (no rocks...core samples) were obtained AFTER the success of Apollo!
In addition to badastronomy.com try clavious.org
Embrace knowledge, deny ignorance.
AND, edit, don't forget the Soviet YE-8 blew up at launch!!!
