Moon rocks found in Minn. National Guard storage
(MCT) — MINNEAPOLIS — Moon rocks from mankind’s first landing more than 43 years ago have been discovered tucked away in a government storage area in St. Paul, and officials are at a loss to explain how they ended up there.
The five encased rocks — little more than pebbles — are part of a desktop display that includes a small state of Minnesota flag that was among the 50 from every state that made the trip aboard Apollo 11.
