For the past 4 years in the office of the US President there was a stone brought by the astronauts of the Apollo-17 mission from the moon, but now, as part of the redevelopment of the oval cabinet, the Trump administration removed it. NASA representatives said that now the lunar stone will return back to the US space agency.
