Way back in 1969, some moon rocks from the Apollo 11 mission were given to then Alaskan Governor Keith Miller who passed them along to the Alaska Transportation Museum. By 1973, however, AlaskaÂ’s moon rocks were lost after an arsonistÂ’s fire claimed many of the items inside, despite witnesses stating they had believed the plaque was intact after the fire. Nearly 40 years later, the moon rocks have been returned to the Alaskan government.
