On July 20th, 1969, the Apollo 11 Lunar Module "Eagle" landed on the moon, with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on board. Mounted in the window was a 16mm film camera. |

At the beginning and end of the film reel was some exposed film used to load onto the reel. Normally they would be discarded. |

But these film scraps were distributed to Kodak engineers as thanks for helping on the Apollo 11 program. Decades later one engineer sold his scrap.. |

.. and now I have a piece. It also came with this snazzy notebook! |

Certificate of authenticity |

Only 144 of these pen sets were made |

Seeee, I told you! |

Two fancy pens! |

See that little black speck? That's a piece of 16mm film that's been on the moon |

But not just on the moon.. on Apollo 11. The first manned landing. How amazing is that. |

Thanks, Toapz! |

Of course, I consulted with the astro-cats |

Buzz, you were the LMP, the camera was in your window! Do you recognize this? |

Neil was too busy landing the vehicle |

Judging by his ears, Buzz is surprised by this reunion |
