But it has been carted up to a storeroom above the exhibition hall. Tony will have some company in exile.

The massive lunar receiving laboratory, designed to analyze the 838 lbs. of rocks hauled back from the moon, has been dismantled and turned into a medical research laboratory. The seven ultraviolet showers built to cleanse astronauts and technicians of unknown moon bugs are now stainless steel corridors leading nowhere...
