Moon Landing Anniversery Day

Turns out it Neil's foot wasn't the first thing to hit the moon, how depressing is that?

As I was geeking out and reading the official Apollo radio transcripts, I was intrigued to find that six minutes before stepping onto the moon for the first time, Armstrong took a "jettison bag" and dropped it onto the surface.

The bag, NASA explains, contained "empty food bags and other things"...including bodily waste collected inside their space suits. In other words, garbage.


One Small Schlep for Mankind
