Those who remember the 1990s "controversy" stories of Apollo items/equipment being sold with actual Moondust, that's all a thing of the past as officially released artifacts to astronauts containing Moondust are now legal to own ... and here's the Apollo 16 Moondust Moonwatch

I'd buy the dust without the watch..what a waste of Moondust...

 

You gotta' have a gimmick these days, this is a gimmick.

 

You know what I wouldn't spend $6483.73 on?...... things ugly.

 

This part is the best: "Numerous tiny fragments of lunar dust are all over the fibres that can be easily seen at 60x magnitude."

I know I always have my 60x loupe with me.

 

Tacky

 

Terrible idea, but somebody will make a profit off of "moondust"....

 

I feel sorry for Charlie Duke.

 

Tenth on the moon, no one remembers the third or fourth on the moon ( besides @SpeedyPhill ) let alone the bloody 10th guy

Edit: I know @TLIGuy knows who’s who because he has that kick ass caseback thing

 

@STANDY
I got a rocket in my pocket and a roll in my walk...

 

Sorry....couldn't resist.

 

Epic scene from The Right Stuff !

I’ve taken the week off of work to encourage OF members to include photos in their posts. Links are quickly useless, and then, unfortunately, so is the conversation.

Is that some vintage asbestos in the inset?

 

Charlie Duke was CAPCOM for Apollo 11 as well so he's pretty well remembered.
