	Description:		Let's say you're a love-struck NASA intern -- your professional career holds a lot of promise, but your family life back home is in shambles... and you fall in love with a fellow intern. How can you impress your new paramour? Forget flowers, chocolates and all those other silly earth-bound romantic gestures: this is the story of Thad Roberts. From his account, he was carried away by mad love, which led him and a few collaborators -- including his fellow interns, one of whom was his lover -- to pull a heist on NASA's moon rock collection. In the second part of this two-part series, Ben, Noel and Max explore the real-life story of Moon Crime. (Please be aware this episode also contains a description of two people in a hotel room getting intimate atop a pile of stolen lunar rocks.) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
