According to reports reaching Oyogist.com, NASA would pay Colorado-based (Lunar Outpost) company $1 (£0.74) for each rock sample it collects from the moon.

Lunar Outpost was awarded the contract by NASA alongside four other companies to recieve moon rocks for the agency, for a total of $25,00.

The samples would be used in NASA Artemis programme, which aims to send the next man and a woman to the moon by 2024.

“The companies will collect the samples and then provide us with visual evidence and other data that they’ve been collected,” a spokesman for Nasa said in a statement.
