Who would think of the moon as a giant trash bin? There is a wide list of items that have been lost by astronauts while exploring the moon. Some of the items include; commemorative plaques, American flags, various tools used to work on the spacecrafts, NASA mirrors, lunar rovers and a camera that once belonged to Apollo 17 commander Eugene Cernan.

The moon was nearly handed a devasatating blow during the Cold War. The United States wanted to demonstrate the power of its Nuclear Arms to the Soviets. Fortunately, the moon was never harmed.

You won't need a scale if your on the moon. This is due in part to the weaker gravitational pull from the moon, making you as light as a feather. You can also jump much higher.

Apollo 11 was the first American space mission to successfully land several astronauts on the moon. It took place July 20, 1969, and would mark a monumental occassion in U.S. history as well. The trip featured astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and was piloted by Michael Collins. Neil Armstrong famously exclaimed "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"

The average temperatures of the moon at night can reach between 200 - 387°F. Space suits are used to protect astronauts against the harsh temperatures of the moon. The moon can get hot as well, reaching temperatures close to 253° F during the day.

When Pink Floyd spoke about The Dark Side of the Moon, they really weren't kidding. The moon's shadow can cause your arm to completely disappear. The moon is pitch dark, making it virtually impossible for astronauts to perform certain tasks. Astronauts lost tools due to the pitch darkness on the moon.
