| Biden's moon rock |
The new president Joe Biden has had a genuine moon rock placed in the oval office! Now that the oval office in the White House belongs to Joe Biden for the next four years, he has redecorated the room. One of the items Joe requested was a moon rock from NASA. President Biden wishes the rock to remind us of the desire to send spacecraft and eventually astronauts to Mars by 2024. That is no long off at all. According to NASA:
The "Lunar Sample 76015,143" is from the Lunar Sample Laboratory Facility at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. Apollo 17 astronaut Ronald Evans and moonwalkers Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan, the last humans to set foot on the Moon, chipped this sample from a large boulder at the base of the North Massif in the Taurus-Littrow Valley, 3km from the Lunar Module. This 332-gram piece of the Moon, which was collected in 1972, is a 3.9-billion-year-old sample formed during the last large impact event on the nearside of the Moon, the Imbrium Impact Basin, which is 1,145 km in diameter.

The rock was collected in 1972 during the last moon landing. Unfortunately 1972 was also the same year that a fatal car crash killed Joe Biden's first wife and one-year old daughter Naomi, so a sad year for the Biden's. None the less the moon rock symbolizes the future of the United States in space exploration.
Question: Would you like to join the Mars expedition when it starts?
