Million Dollar Moon Rock Heist
- NEW - This SUNDAY 9P et/pt

Hear the inside story of the biggest heist in NASA's history - the theft of Apollo moon rocks from the Johnson Space Center. NASA regards its moon rocks as priceless, but the 101 grams stolen by Thad Roberts and his accomplices might have raised millions on the black market. Roberts, the ringleader, claims he stole the moon rocks for the love of fellow intern Tiffany Fowler and boasts they were the first couple to have "sex on the moon" - literally on top of the stolen moon rock fragments. He has described the heist as a James Bond-style operation, but this documentary tells the true story.
