Apollo 16 'Grand Prix' Rover Test on the Moon HD 60FPS Stabilised
Full video on the Moonpans Youtube channel
During the Apollo 16 mission in April 1972 the crew were tasked with putting the Lunar Roving Vehicle through a series of tests to asses its capabilities. Commander John Young drove the electrically powered rover through a series of maneuvers—including S-turns, hairpin turns, hard stops, and acceleration to "high" speeds of roughly 6–11 mph (10–18 km/h)—while Charles Duke (lunar module pilot) filmed it with a 16 mm camera from a safe distance.

Gene Cernan’s last words on the moon, panoramic zoom out - And 20x16 photo hand written and signed by Gene Cernan
"Bob, this is Gene, and I'm on the surface; and, as I take man's last step from the surface, back home for some time to come—but we believe not too long into the future—I'd like to just [say] what I believe history will record: that America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus–Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17."
Apollo 11 Flown To Lunar Surface Film - Full Width Segment
This section of camera film, measuring approx 70mm x 10 mm was used by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface during the historic first manned moon landing in July 1969.
What makes this section special is that it is a FULL WIDTH section of 70mm film from sprocket to sprocket. Most of the Apollo 11 film segments sold were only tiny pieces measuring 12mm or so.
Another piece at the 70mm size, sold for $26,250 at auction.
The film is attached to an 5 x 3 inch card hand signed by Richard W Underwood who in his role as Supervisory Aerospace Technologist at Lyndon B Johnson Spacecraft Center was responsible for the handling of the exposed camera films from the Apollo missions after their return from the Moon.
The wording on the certificate reads as follows:
Film From The Moon
This Is To Certify That The Attached Film Was Carried Onboard Apollo 11 On Its Historic Flight To The Moon, July 16-24, 1969, And Was Carried To The Surface Of The Moon By Astronauts Armstrong And Aldrin In The Lunar Module 'Eagle' On July 20-21, 1969.".

One of the greatest Moonwalker signed photos ever!
8x10 inch Apollo 12 photo hand signed by Charles Conrad in blue pen with his classic first step quote
Comes with Steve Zarelli COA
Incredibly rare Charles Conrad signed 8x10 inch photo, showing the Apollo 12 Commander descending the LM ladder to become the 3rd man on the moon in a beautiful photo captured by Alan Bean. Hand signed by Conrad in blue pen with his classic first words quote:
'Man, that may have been a small one for Neil but that's a long one for me! Charles Conrad Cdr Apollo XII'
Conrad said these words as he dropped down from the bottom of the LM ladder to the LM footpad for a great reason.
When Neil Armstrong stepped on to the moon in July 1969, he said the historic words, "That’s one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind". Many people believed that NASA had written the words for Neil, but the astronauts were in fact free to say whatever they liked.
To prove this the third man on the moon Pete Conrad who was only 5 foot 6 inches, had a bet with a reporter Oriana Fallaci for $500, that he would make a joke about his short height. As he stepped on to the moon
So, Conrad's first words were, "Whoopie!..... Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but that's a long one for me!"
Conrad won the bet, but never did receive the $500!
This is one of the most desirable and sought after Moonwalker signed photos we have ever offered
Excellent condition. Comes Steve Zarelli and Moonpans COA
Apollo 15 Flown to the Lunar Surface Cover
Available to purchase from the Moonpans website
One of the infamous flown covers first confiscated and later released by NASA
This Cover is number 294 of 398 covers that were flown to the Lunar Surface on Apollo 15.
Originally 100 covers were requested to be flown to the Moon by H. Walter Eiermann who was acting on behalf of German Stamp dealer, Hermann Sieger. The crew agreed in return for a trust fund of $7000 being set up for each Astronaut in a Swiss Bank Account. The crew also wanted to carry a further 300 covers for themselves, but 2 were destroyed before the flight, making the total number of covers flown 398.
The covers were not listed in the Crews preference kits, but instead carried in the pocket of Dave Scott's space suit onto the spacecraft, where they were then placed in the LM.
Once back from the moon and while on the USS Okinawa the crew added the stamps and had the covers cancelled and date stamped at the on-board ship's post office, they then signed the covers on the flight from Hawaii back to Houston.
Of the total 398 covers, 100 were sent to Hermann Sieger and the remaining 298 were kept by the Apollo 15 Crew. It had been agreed that no covers be sold until after the completion of the Apollo program, but Sieger started selling his 100 covers almost immediately at $1,500 each.
When the crew heard about the sale, they tried to retrieve the covers from Sieger, but were unsuccessful and so tried to save their reputations by returning the $7,000. However a Congressional investigation wanted to make an example of the Astronauts and so NASA had no choice but to suspend them from flight status. NASA also confiscated the 298 covers.
In 1983 Al Worden successfully had the 298 covers returned to the crew after suing the United States federal government when similar covers were to be flown on the Space Shuttle. It is thought that had the crew declared the covers in the first place then there would have been no problem.
This cover is one of the 298 that belonged to the crew and comes with a certified letter of provenance which they supplied with each cover hand signed by each crew member.
