Gemini 4 pilot Ed White was posthumously honored with a moon rock Wednesday (June 3), on the 50th anniversary of his historic spacewalk. NASA presented the stone-adorned Ambassador of Exploration Award at the United States Military Academy’s West Point Museum in New York, where the lunar rock has now been placed on display. White is the 30th astronaut to be saluted as an Ambassador of Exploration since 2004.
