    Hello there,

    Hope this fit into this category.

    I saw someone mentioned it in a post somewhere on the forum but I think it would be great to attract some more attention.

    For all the space enthusiasts out there who have a Moonwatch and would like a special bag to carry it...

    Someone started a Kickstarter campaign to make a faithful reproduction of the Contingency bag used by Neil Armstrong on the Apollo 11 mission. the bag was intended to contain the first moon samples which were collected directly after the landing, in the case they had to leave the moon in a hurry before the end of the planned mission, due to any technical problem out there.

    The bag is made of Beta Cloth which is fire resistant. It's a great addition to any space mission fan I think.

    The real one was sold a few years ago for around 1.8 millions after it ended up in a public auction after a mistake and someone bought it for less than 1000$....

    I thought some of you might be interested in that.
