The news I have heard is that there is not going to
be another formal release of grass, at least not by CERL. 
I heard this from James Westervelt at the recent 
NCGIA conference in Santa Fe.

There is enough material on the moon for several 
releases but this would involve considerable effort
(testing, documenting etc etc) last I heard CERL 
were looking around for someone to take this on, 
perhaps someone else has more news


cheers  Tom
