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.

美宇航局突襲嚇壞老嫗

???????據《基督教科學箴言報》報道，美國宇航局向南加州的一個家庭餐廳發動了一場縝密的奪回月球巖石的行動，但在突襲行動的最后，宇航局的特工們只拿到了一小塊比一粒米還小的月球塵埃，并且這些武裝的特工將該餐廳一位73歲的嫌犯老婦嚇得夠嗆。

???????這次突襲的對象名叫喬安·達維斯，她已經做了祖母，她說她想要賣掉這塊月塵，因為她需要錢來給兒子治病。達維斯堅稱這塊月球塵埃歸她所有，是阿姆斯特朗在20世紀70年代送給她當時做空間工程師的丈夫的。

???????但是宇航局認為，達維斯是非法占有偷取的政府資產。
