Sex on the Moon is the true story of Thad Roberts, a young Mormon geologist with an internship (a "co-op") at the Johnson Space Center, living his dream of doing work for NASA. He decides to steal several million dollars' worth of moon rocks; the title of the book describes one of his criminal motivations: his passion for his girlfriend. The actions of a rock hound from Antwerp who alerts the FBI to the crime are also followed.
