On October 6, Martha Chaffee (left), widow of astronaut and Purdue alumnus Roger Chaffee, presents Purdue President France A. Cordova with a lunar sample collected during the 1972 Apollo 17 mission commanded by Eugene Cernan, a 1956 Purdue alumnus and the last astronaut to walk on the moon. Roger Chaffee, along with fellow Purdue alumnus Virgil "Gus" Grissom and Ed White, perished in 1967 in a fire during training for NASA's first Apollo mission. The moon rock, on long-term loan from NASA, was acquired by Martha Chaffee as part of a NASA program that allows each astronaut (from the Apollo, Gemini, and Mercury programs) or his survivor to donate to the educational institution of his or her choice a piece of the 842 pounds of moon rocks and soil collected during the six lunar missions.
