Don’t Forget To Touch The Moon

Houston is only a handful of places in the world where you can truly have an “out of this world experience.” Don’t pass on this when you visit the Starship Gallery at Space Center Houston. Although most of the moon rocks collected by the Apollo missions are preserved in a pure nitrogen environment at the Lunar Sample Laboratory Facility at Johnson Space Center, there are a few lunar rocks that can be touched by the general public. One of these is the lunar touchstone, which was brought back by the Apollo 17 crew in December of 1972. Taken from the Valley of Taurus-Littrow in the upper right quadrant of the moon as seen from our planet, this rock sample is reported to be 3.8 billion years old.
