It wasn’t much to look at, but I will never be that close to the moon again!– U.S. Attorney Richard Callahan • The U.S. Attorney’s office said Thursday it had recovered stolen moon dust at a St. Louis auction house. The dust came from the film canister used by astronauts on the Apollo 11 mission and was believed to have been transferred to a one-inch piece of tape, then stolen by a NASA employee.
