Talk About a Full Moon
Now any earth dweller can make his or her mark on our dusty satellite. For a mere $38, Applied Space Resources appliedspace.com will etch one page of your text or photos on an "Eternity Disk," left, which will be left on the moon by Lunar Retriever 1 in 2002. With luck, future moongoers may be able to find it among all the other stuff left behind by 14 Soviet and 24 NASA spacecraft:
Six U.S. flags
Two golf balls hit by Alan Shepard
Leather-bound Bible
Six loads of garbage, mostly tools and bags
Five nuclear-powered experiments
Family photo left by Charles Duke
Rookie astronaut pin left by Alan Bean
Figurine commemorating astronauts who died on duty
Two plaques with Nixon's signature
Vial containing astronomer Eugene Shoemaker's ashes
Three lunar rovers
