Priceless NASA Artifact Sold Against NASA's Wishes. Apollo 1. 1 landed on the Moon, an unsurpassed milestone in the history of human exploration. To celebrate, luxury auction house Sotheby’s is launching a mission of its own: to sell the shit out of some priceless artifacts from the American and Soviet space programs, including one that, uh, NASA didn’t really want to see sold. The array of relics range from an original illustration of “The Exploration of Mars” (which sold for $1.

Sotheby’s told Gizmodo) to a moon- dusted bag used by astronaut Neil Armstrong for lunar return samples during Apollo 1. According to the auction house’s website, the bag—which was one of the most- hyped pieces for obvious reasons—sold for just over $1. That’s actually a bargain considering it was expected to sell for anywhere between $2 to 4 million. Consequently, the bag did not top Sotheby’s all- time highest sale price for a space artifact, which was achieved by the Soviet Vostok 3. KA- 2 capsule when it sold for $2,8. It’s unclear how Sotheby’s was able to obtain all of the objects on sale today, and while the auction house has released the amounts each item sold for, it did not disclose any of the buyers. What we do know is that the sale of that high- ticket collection bag was highly controversial.

The bag has been the center of a court case between NASA and a Chicago- area woman, who purchased the bag online in 2. According to the Washington Post, after the buyer, Nancy Carlson, sent the bag to NASA for testing, the agency told her it “belongs to the American people.”Ultimately, a district judge in Wichita, Kansas ruled that NASA couldn’t keep the bag, despite being sympathetic to the space agency’s argument that it probably shouldn’t have gone on sale in the first place. There’s always a chance the mystery buyer this time will put the bag in public collections.

Or, just maybe, we’re being too cynical, and the mystery buyer is a museum. It’d be a shame to lose these incredible artifacts, especially on the lunaversary.
