I’ve always wondered why they took a roll of tape to the moon. Every gram mattered, so they only took essentials. Did they anticipate the need for tape for unexpected repairs? I think the “Lunar Ace Hardware” was closed for inventory when they were there.

That rover’s still up there. You can take it for a spin the next time you are on the Sea of Tranquility.
