Priceless NASA Artifact Sold Against NASA's Wishes. Apollo 1. 1 landed on the Moon, an unsurpassed milestone in the history of human exploration. 1080P Hd Video Download Only The Brave (2017). To celebrate, luxury auction house Sotheby’s is launching a mission of its own: to sell the shit out of some priceless artifacts from the American and Soviet space programs, including one that, uh, NASA didn’t really want to see sold. The array of relics range from an original illustration of “The Exploration of Mars” (which sold for $1. Sotheby’s told Gizmodo) to a moon- dusted bag used by astronaut Neil Armstrong for lunar return samples during Apollo 1. According to the auction house’s website, the bag—which was one of the most- hyped pieces for obvious reasons—sold for just over $1.

According to the Washington Post, after the buyer, Nancy Carlson, sent the bag to NASA for testing, the agency told her it “belongs to the American people.”Ultimately, a district judge in Wichita, Kansas ruled that NASA couldn’t keep the bag, despite being sympathetic to the space agency’s argument that it probably shouldn’t have gone on sale in the first place. There’s always a chance the mystery buyer this time will put the bag in public collections. Or, just maybe, we’re being too cynical, and the mystery buyer is a museum. It’d be a shame to lose these incredible artifacts, especially on the lunaversary.
