Excerpt:

"The Last Frontier" has been reunited with the "final frontier" after the return of moon rocks that went missing in Alaska nearly 40 years ago. The tale of the tiny lunar pebbles' restoration to the 49th state includes an arson's fire, a teenager's theft, a science fair photo and a ship's captain from a reality TV show. On Dec. 6, Alaska's State Museum in Juneau debuted an exhibit of the five recently returned fragments of the moon, which in 1969 were encased together in a lucite sphere and mounted to a wooden podium for presentation to Alaska by then-President Richard Nixon.

"The Apollo 17 rock never had the chance to get into that museum because the fire was in 1973," he added. "So, they never went down this rabbit trail."
