Tracking Down Missing Moon Rocks
In the 1960s and 70s, the Apollo moon missions fired the imagination of the world. They brought back rocks from the moon - and as a gesture of goodwill, President Nixon gave one to every nation. But some time later it came to the attention of NASA that this had sparked a trade in fake moon rocks, which were selling for thousands of dollars. NASA sent special agent Joe Gutheinz to investigate. Archive courtesy of Tricky Hale Films.
