Apollo joystick auction
A joystick used to land the Apollo 15 lunar module on the moon sold Thursday (May 22) for more than half a million dollars, topping the highest price ever paid at a public auction for a part of a NASA spacecraft. The $610,064 for the rotational hand controller was recorded during RR Auction’s 7th Space and Aviation Autograph and Artifact Auction, which listed more than 600 aeronautic and space exploration relics. The joystick’s sale was complimented by another part from the Apollo 15 lunar lander, the crewman optical alignment sight, for $126,180.

Whistler Blowers, Insiders
I have the pair of underpants used by Neil Armstrong on the very day he first touched down on the surface of Sound Stage 3b at Pinewood Studios, England. ( Sorry! I meant to say “The Moon”. )
I am opening the bidding at one million US.
Should this item reach its reserve, I also have the broken biro tube used to rescue the Apollo LEM from an ignominious end, stuck for all eternity in the hostile terrain of the Nevada desert because its rocket engine would not function. ( Sorry! I meant Mare Imbrium, or wherever it was they “landed”. )
But you knew that anyway, didn’t you?
