WLTREPORT/USA TODAY – President Trump just took a moon rock that has been on display at the White House since 2021 and deported it back to NASA.
Afuera!
Out of here!
A moon rock signifying NASA’s lunar ambitions had adorned Joe Biden’s Oval Office throughout his entire presidential administration.
But, since President Donald Trump took office in January, the moon rock collected during the iconic Apollo missions has been noticeably absent. Recent photos of Trump at his desk show that the moon rock has been removed from the shelf to his left where it had been displayed for the previous four years.
Of course, incoming presidents are sure to redecorate the White House to suit their tastes. In this case, it appears Trump no longer prefers for the moon rock loaned to the Biden administration to be a fixture of his Oval Office.
Instead, the lunar sample is due to be returned this month to NASA headquarters, a NASA spokeswoman confirmed Friday to USA TODAY.
