Very interesting. I'm very intersted in the following passage:

"A parade of witnesses, including FBI agents, former astronaut Harrison Schmitt, NASA lunar sample curator Gary Lofgren, NASA cost analyst Kelley Cyr (who pegged the replacement value of the rocks at $32 million) [...]"

Are these proceedings public?

What did H. Schmitt contribute?

And how can you replace any moon rock with $32 million??? (or did the cost analyst mean "recovery" from the potential buyers of the rocks rather than "replacement"?)

"I was in love with Tiffany," he says. "In my mind, I was thinking, Baby, I'd give you the moon. It would be a romantic start to our relationship."

I'm supposed to swoon or to get sick???
