75-year-old woman detained for 2 hours in urine-soaked pants for trying to sell moon rock shard

At no point was she informed that all lunar material is the property of the federal government and that possession was a crime, the court said.

Yeah, I knew this. Shouldn’t that be the first words out of the guys mouth? WTF is the point of a sting of investigation? It’s a waste of everyone’s time and money.

Though there are a handful of moon rocks in private circulation from gifts to world leaders and a few others. All the others are supposed to be gov. property, though it sounds like a few have snuck out here and there.

You CAN get a lunar rock that fell as a meteorite.Not really the same thing though as having one brought back from Apollo.
