Just like all things in the Space program, Shepard's six-iron had to be specially modified for EVA use...

Edgar Mitchell threw a javelin on the moon as well, I guess there are more golfers than javelin throwers out there...

it is a little known fact that they forgot to take their Haynes Manual on their Apollo 13 trip, if they had, then maybe they would not have had so much trouble :wink:

I heard they took the 1969 Ltd Edition Playboy Magazine! When Neil & Buzz were outside and the cameras were distracted ...Well........!!!

A couple of them took postage stamps and were planning to sell these when they got back. there was a lot of trouble over that.

[justin44]

It's an odd one, but they took an SB2 Tom Kuhn yoyo, aircraft grade alluminium and ballrace axel, i own one, not sure if they used it on the moon but they took it into space!

Apollo XV that was. Took two contraband Waltham watches, too, and one of them was worn on the moon when the Speedy's crystal popped.

More importantly, they placed a plaque on the moon establishing a University of Michigan alumni chapter there. :P :lol:

So much for Omega's claim that the Speedy was the only watch worn on the moon. It may have been the first, but certainly not the only one. But I have always thought that Omega were cheating buggers. :twisted:

Ditto. Mine are 52mm too. I will try out either gold or matte chrome frames next, as the black stuff on the frames peel off (there is not a scratch in the glass itself).

Back drop cloth, stage lights, sound proof panelling.... the list goes on. :)
