Biden Decorates Oval Office With 3.9-billion-year-old Lunar Rock

On request by US President Joe Biden's administration, NASA has lent its precious 3.9-billion-year-old Moon rock sample to be displayed at the White House's Oval Office. The administration had requested NASA for the gift as a symbolic representation of the ambitions, accomplishments, and plans of America in space expeditions. The 332-gram sample, excavated following a large lunar-impact, was collected in 1971 by Apollo 17 astronauts Harrison Schmitt and Eugene Cernan.
