The elaborate mission to recover a moon rock led NASA agents to family restaurant in southern California. But at the end of the sting operation, agents were left holding a speck of lunar dust smaller than a grain of rice and a 73-year-old suspect who was terrified by armed officials, the Christian Science Monitor reported.

The target, Joann Davis, a grandmother who says she wanted to sell the lunar material because she was trying to raise money for her sick son, asserts the lunar material was rightfully hers, having been given to her space-engineer husband by Neil Armstrong in the 1970s.

But the authorities believed Davis was in possession of stolen government property.

美宇航局突袭吓坏老妪

       据《基督教科学箴言报》报道，美国宇航局向南加州的一个家庭餐厅发动了一场缜密的夺回月球岩石的行动，但在突袭行动的最后，宇航局的特工们只拿到了一小块比一粒米还小的月球尘埃，并且这些武装的特工将该餐厅一位73岁的嫌犯老妇吓得够呛。

       这次突袭的对象名叫乔安·达维斯，她已经做了祖母，她说她想要卖掉这块月尘，因为她需要钱来给儿子治病。达维斯坚称这块月球尘埃归她所有，是阿姆斯特朗在20世纪70年代送给她当时做空间工程师的丈夫的。

       但是宇航局认为，达维斯是非法占有偷取的政府资产。
