Under the terms of a contract, a company would collect "a small amount" of Moon rocks, provide imagery to NASA of the material and data of where to find it, and then transfer ownership of the materials to the space agency.
"It's time to establish the regulatory certainty to extract and trade space resources," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a tweet. The agency said the collected material will then become its "sole property," with NASA planning to retrieve the material "at a later date."

Wasn’t it just a few years back that buckets of moon rocks were found in a janitors supply closet sitting in buckets?
priorities. 🤔
