Ever wondered what mankind left behind on the moon, apart from footprints? The Lunar Legacy Project has the answer in their comprehensive ‘artifact list’ that itemises every item the various moonlanding missions left behind. There are 85 items (at least) at Tranquility Base (where Neil Armstrong set down) alone.
Apart from the obvious (Apollo 11 Lunar Module Descent Stage, anyone?), there’s Armstrong’s ‘space boots’, mission patches, a TV camera, and a ‘urine collection assembly’… Imagine what some of that lot might be worth on eBay!
