About the Book

Now a mature geologist, Roberto Citrone is invited to join NASA at the Johnson Space Center south of Houston, Texas, to help set up the Apollo Returned Lunar Sample Program. He accepts, little knowing the heartache and moral dilemmas he will face. He is never certain that he made the right moral choices regarding his boss Stainless Steel and a Lunar sample curatorial facility that caused him to leave NASA. His heartache over the disappeared Post Doctoral Fellow-Lotus Blossom-lasts the rest of his life.

He received a Bachelor of Geological Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota, a Master of Science Degree from the Missouri School of Mines (now the Missouri University of Science and Technology), and a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1960. He received a Doctor of Science (Honorus causa) from the University of Missouri in 1989. As a scientist, he published more than 100 technical papers in the areas of isotope geology, mineral resources, and environmental concerns and authored a monograph "Lead Isotopes." He was involved in the Apollo Program and post Apollo Program in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the National Acid Precipitation Program with the National Park Service in the 1980s.
