Item 263, Lunar surface checklist, "heavily soiled with lunar dust" is rather more exciting.
More so even than the artefacts and badges etc that are alleged to have been around or on the Moon!
But at up to £5K estimate, I'll step right back.

Some amazing one-offs listed. A page from the Apollo 13 checklist with the crew's hand-written notes and amendments on how to do the mid-course correction burn on the way back from the Moon. Beta-cloth mission patches that have actually been to the lunar surface and back.

I think the estimates on some of those items are going to prove conservative, even at £50k for some of the stuff that's 'been there'. Auction is on Monday.

I hope that's extra pension for an astronaut.

I think your pension as an astronaut comes from opening shopping malls!
