From the backstage tour of the Smithsonian restoration labs with astronaut Ed Lu, where they have the batch of Neil Armstrong artifacts that he brought back from the lunar module Eagle, contrary to protocol, and recently discovered in his closet at home.

  1. Very cool – thanks for sharing. The table to your left is a little macabre.

  2. Wait, these were in Neil’s closet or Ed Lu’s? 😃

    What an excellent opportunity to visit the restoration labs.

  3. Very cool but what I wanna know is, what’s that on the left? It looks like a piece of a Mercury capsule. Or maybe Gemini?

  4. Wonder what other astros have squirreled away after their flights and put in their closets??????

  5. My missing fencing equipment. Thanks for finding!

  6. OMG who is lying on the table?

  7. heh… looks like Hadfield’s Apollo Murders book made manifest.
