Description

This is an auction for SEX ON THE MOON: THE AMAZING TRUE STORY BEHIND THE MOST AUDACIOUS HEIST IN HISTORY, by Ben Mezrich.

“In this true story of love and adventure, nothing can stop Thad Roberts from keeping a promise to his girlfriend Rebecca - not even NASA security. When he's in the lab, Roberts is a brilliant NASA co-op intern, but the other interns know him better for devising thrill-seeking activities, like cliff diving and sneaking into the shuttle simulator. When he realizes that scientists consider moon rocks worthless once they’ve been in experiments, Roberts starts to wonder . . . if they’re worthless, how could stealing them be wrong? Ben Mezrich, author of The Accidental Billionaires (which inspired the movie The Social Network), starts each section with excerpts of Roberts’s love letters to Rebecca from prison, providing a love-drunk context for Roberts’ journey as the moon rock heist balloons from idle fantasy to stark reality. Behind-the-scenes looks at NASA’s Johnson Space Center and thriller-like action that ranges from the U.S. to Belgium make for an enthralling read for anyone who ever dreamed about being an astronaut - or promised to give someone else the moon.”
