The Apollo module was 20,000-kg. We could do it in 50,000-lbs chunks but we would have to process it on the moon first so it wouldn't crater when it landed.
If the commodities market tanks, well, we'll value add it by selling it as "all weather platinum or gold siding" at Home Depot. ;-)

- DrScump 9y agoYour link says 5,500 kg for the Command module, which is the only part that re-entered. And of that 5,500kg, maybe 300-400kg was actual payload (astronauts and samples).
