Fifty U.S. states and provinces each received a piece of lunar rock encased in an acrylic button. Once the public gift was received, it became the property of the recipient and was no longer tracked by NASA. Public gifts usually cannot be legally transferred to individual ownership without the passage of additional legislation. Attempts have been and are being made to locate each of the gifted moon rocks.
Students at the University of Phoenix, Arizona have begun to compile a list of the locations of the moon rocks. Professor Joseph Gutheniz, former NASA Office of Inspector General special agent has challenged his students to locate the missing samples. Just recently, “lost” moon rocks in Hawaii turned up in the Governor’s office cabinet during a routine inventory of gifts given to the Governor.
