In all, the lunar junkyard holds nearly 200 tonnes of human objects. The dusty remains of five Saturn V rocket stages from the Apollo missions are the heaviest single items. Then there are the wreckages of spacecraft that smashed, or were crashed intentionally at the end of their missions, into the lunar surface.
James Irwin, an Apollo 15 astronaut, left a bible on the dashboard of his mission’s buggy.
The least charming are 96 bags for poo, urine and vomit
The crew of Apollo 15 carried an 8.5cm-tall aluminium figure to the moon. Created by the Belgian artist Paul Van Hoeydonck, the Fallen Astronaut was laid on its side with a plaque listing the names of astronauts and cosmonauts who died during the space race.

Leave it to the Leftist U.K. rag, The Guardian, to focus the anniversary of the moon landing on the negative.

How did they get 100s of bags of poop? Were they bringing earth poop up,there for storage, or were they feasting every night?

Liberals left over 100 tons of trash in DC at the Obama inaugural. In all, the liberals have left for more trash in DC than we've ever left on the moon.

I agree, those that mock or attempt to discredit these great historic achievements have no effing clue.

The Astronauts are the best of the best.
Smooth operators.
Still, they are subject to the fight or flight response.

... the lunar junkyard holds nearly 200 tonnes... Would those be Earth tons or Moon tons?

Would those be Earth tons or Moon tons? Excellent question. Metric, long or short, Earth or Moon... no matter, because it would be 6 times as much if we brought it back!!!
Apollos 11 and 12 predated the first Earth Day.

And what did the Brits leave when they landed on the moon? OhThat’s right, they never landed on the moon.

I thought the Saturn V parts were on Mars next to the American Flag.

Leftists are superb at focusing on any small imperfection.
But the world is imperfect, so they are the very essence of negative nannies.
The focus on the negative, and demand we all obey them, as they, and only they, are the ones that can make everything perfect./s
