"When I search for information about the stones on the Internet, I understand that we have to find a better way to display them," Major Blane Iffert, former historian of the Minnesota State Guard. , stated.

Iffert said former US President Richard Nixon donated most of the moon rock that astronauts on the flight of Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 brought to the state for the states to make souvenirs.

Kristen Auge, a major of the Minnesota Guard, admitted that she did not know why the five stones were in the Veterans building and did not know how long they had been there. The Minnesota Historical Society will keep the stones.

American astronauts took about 2,200 specimens from the moon - including rock, gravel, sand, and dust - during the Apolo fleet's flights from 1969 to 1972. Their total weight was about 378kg.
