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 missions 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.

Are You sure about that ?
As far as I know the LM was docked with the Command/Service Modules and removed from Stage III of the Saturn V Launch Vehicle.
The the CMD/SERVICE & LMs fired the SERVICE MODULE Engine to start the journey to the Moon.
Then at the end of the Lunar Visit the Astronauts returned to the CMD/SERVICE MODULEs and transferred the Samples and Crew off the LM Ascent Modulal which was the Jettisoned so it crashed into the Lunar Surface and to Everyones surprise the Seismic Unit left behine at the Landing Site recorded the Moon RINGING like a Bell for over an Hour. Basically telling them that the Moon is Hollow.

Do these limey newspapers EVER report anything positive about the United States....I mean, EVER?
I dont recall ever hearing that the upper (3rd) stages of Saturn 5s made it to the moon (as in landing on it). They did the burn for the Trans Lunar Injection, but the Service module did the burn that put the ship into lunar orbit
The uppermost (the service module) came back to earth
Hell they are just now figuring out dentistry.
My sister and family lived in Europe for many years, B L worked for NATO.
They went total native, except dentistry.
At first, they tried a local dentist, some of the equipment was state of the art, but not all of it!
She said when the dentist rolled in some equipment and started pumping with his foot, this was not for her!
We would see them as their dental check-ups came due.
Because of the tax structure, if something still works they use it!
The Daily Mail was whining about Nazi rocket scientists ...
They say, ‘Good help is hard to get’.
Well, they are sending a woman.
...is it too late to duck...?

You may be safe coming in at the end of the thread?
Still, better sleep with one eye open.
