Executive Summary

This documentary, created by an MSU film crew led by Academic Specialist and 21-time Emmy Award winner Troy Hale, explores one of NASA’s most curious mysteries—the missing moon rocks. Of more than 270 moon rocks brought to earth by the Apollo missions that were given as gifts to the states and nations of the world, more than half went missing. This documentary follows NASA special investigator Joseph Gutheinz, who has been looking for answers surrounding these missing rocks for more than a decade.  ‘Missing Moon Rocks’ dives into how and why these priceless moon rocks were so easily misplaced and forgotten, along with the efforts to bring them back.
