lunar basalt 70017
The Lunar basalt 70017 is a moon rock gathered in 1972 by astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt on the Apollo 17 mission near their Apollo lunar lander from the valley of Taurus-Littrow on the moon and divided into 1.1 gram pieces.
== History ==
Lunar basalt 70017 is a moon basalt that was last collected by astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt on the last manned moon landing, Apollo 17. After gathering the basalt rock from the surface of the moon the two astronauts made a speech referring to "the children of the world". They wished that parts of the rock be given out to various institutions around the world as a goodwill gesture. In 1973 President Nixon gifted 1.1 gram pieces of the lunar basalt 70017 that were encased in a small Lucite ball and mounted on a wooden plaque display. They were given worldwide to all countries and all 50 United States and its provinces. Some countries were not even aware they were given the Apollo displays. Some of the displays with the moon rocks have been stolen, while others have been lost in inventory. NASA still has about 80 percent of the original rock.〔''Earth'' magazine, March 2011, pp. 42-51〕
