In today’s episode, we explore the incredible true story of Thad Roberts, a NASA intern with dreams of becoming the first human to walk on Mars. But instead of making history through exploration, Thad did it by masterminding a bold heist—stealing precious moon rocks from NASA itself.
Inspired by Ben Mezrich's Sex on the Moon, we’ll walk through Thad’s journey from promising NASA recruit to an unlikely criminal, unraveling how ambition and the thrill of risk led him down an unforgettable path.
Curious how a mission to the stars turned into a mission for moon rocks? This episode is as close to space crime as you can get.
