Thank you Mendy for pointing this out.


Yes, this is "The Ambassador" slice of NWA 5000.  This slice has traveled the 
world more than I have the last five years. NASA Apollo astronaut, Charlie 
Duke, one of twelve men to walk on the Moon, even used this slice to promote 
future missions back to the Moon in a keynote speech.  This slice was loaned 
out to several institutions free of charge as a centerpiece and accomplished 
its mission as an educational specimen.   


The Ambassador is now in Naveen Jain's prized collection.  Naveen is an X-Prize 
contender for the first to go back to the Moon so it is in good hands.
