Moon Rock by Thad Roberts
Picking up where the national bestseller Sex on the Moon left off, NASA astrophysicist Thad Roberts takes us behind the scenes of America's justice system after being arrested for stealing moon rocks to impress his girlfriend. This fascinating, heart-wrenching, and sometimes humorous account of corruption and dehumanization, offers a rich portrayal of the process of ruin that senselessly awaits America's underprivileged. It is a raw and uncensored account that needs to be told, not because it is unique, but because it is far too common. It is an intimate portrayal of humanity's declining identity-which must be understood to be reversed. Thad's Mare Crisium account, referencing a prominent feature on the moon whose name translates as Sea of Crises, contains a subtle yet powerful insight for how to deal with tragedy, highlighting the role that defiance and passion play in overcoming despair and reclaiming a life of adventure and human connection.
Thad Roberts is a theoretical physicist, philosopher, and adventurer who passionately explores the possibility that quantum mechanics is not exact, but is, instead, an accurate approximation of a deeper deterministic theory. Thad has excavated dinosaur fossils, sailed across the Atlantic in a 55' sloop, and lived out of a VW Vanagon for 2 years traveling the world for $10 a day. He has worked as an astrophysicist for NASA, and then a flight lead, training astronauts for their EVAs. His life took an infamous twist when, to impress a girl, he literally stole the moon-a story that is captured in the best-selling book Sex on the Moon. During his confinement he poured himself into a thorough investigation of Nature's deepest mysteries-an intellectual adventure that gave form to this book. Thad currently works as a theoretical physicist for a private think tank, and as a motivational speaker for the American Program Bureau, where he shares his story to inspire others to follow their dreams and to let their curiosity propel them to a broader horizon.
