LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ Nebraskans will have a handful of chances this month to touch a piece of a moon rock astronauts brought back to Earth. The moon rock is part of a travelling NASA exhibit that will be at several events in the state in September. The ``Driven to Explore'' exhibit celebrates the 40th anniversary of the first human landing on the moon, and describes plans for a return to the moon. The NASA exhibit will be at the State Fair in Lincoln through Monday. Then it will visit Humboldt, Neb. area schools Wednesday and Thursday. It will be at the Omaha Children's Museum next weekend before going to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on Sept. 15-16. And it's last stop in the state will be the Edgerton Explorit Center in Aurora on Sept 18-19.
