Yes it will be sold.
The money gained will be put to use finishing off our observatory.
The estimated value of the rock, If it proves to be from Mars, is between 2 and 3 Billion Dollars. Much cheaper than sending a spacecraft to bring samples back.
That's what I have been told.
I will retire for sure, and spend the rest of my days teaching school kids about Astronomy.
And fishing.
I will wait and see.
