Sure, if you steal it from NASA. I'm not talking about stealing it. I'm talking about grabbing an extra one for me while I'm up there.

Too bad: since it was done for work, the rocks would still be considered NASA's intellectual property. At least NASA didn't make them sign an NDA (as far as we know...).

Who's going to tell them? You? I wouldn't be surprised if there's a moon rock tucked in a box somewhere that no one knows about.
