As I read this book, I simply couldn’t shake the feeling that the story of Thad Roberts—an excommunicated Mormon college student who landed an internship at NASA, fell madly in love with a fellow intern, and somehow managed to steal a bunch of moon rocks from an as-it-turns-out-not-so-secure-lab at the Johnson Space Center—just wasn’t as intriguing as the author seemed to think it was. The story is certainly unique and mildly interesting, but this 300+ page book probably would have worked a lot better as a feature article in The New Yorker or The Atlantic. A mildly interesting read, but really just a change of pace—unless you’re a NASA or astronomy enthusiast.
The creative non-fiction style gives the book more eloquent prose and a direct view into the characters’ minds, but it can be slightly off-putting in a book nominally based on real, recent history. HæderspriserDistinctions
In 2002, NASA fellow Thad Roberts hatched the most daring heist ever conceived: steal NASA's precious moon rocks. With the help of his girlfriend and another female cohort, both NASA interns, Roberts successfully stole the rocks. However, selling the invaluable stones proved to be Roberts' downfall.
