Did you know? we've left 96 bags of waste products and pee on the moon? They're from the Apollo Moon missions in the 1960s, after collecting lunar rocks to bring back to Earth. The astronauts left the bags on the moon to lighten their cargo load, and they've been sitting there in the lunar dust for over six decades.Astrobiologists have considered bringing the poop back to Earth and studying the bacteria to see if it has evolved in any strange ways due to the higher levels of radiation the moon receives now if you think that's strange it's only going to get crazier we've left some pretty strange things in space from kitchen appliances to art made for aliens

Golf balls in a 1971 Mission To The Moon astronaut Alan Shepard snuck the head of a six iron and a few golf balls on board and developed a makeshift golf club by putting the head to the shaft of a piece of rock collection equipment.

Shepard didn't stop there; he went ahead and hit a couple of balls, claiming they flew a couple hundred meters and leaving them on the moon.

Carl Sagan and his team created a 30 centimeter golden LP record for each ship in 1977 when Voyager 1 and 2 were launched the record came with instructions on how to play it and was intended to be a Showcase of Earth and Humanity in the event it was stumbled upon by an alien species the record included 115 images greetings in 55 languages and what amounts to a 90-minute mixtape of Music throughout cultures and history now the v

If aliens ever discovered Voyager and chose to visit us, we'd better make sure the Earth is still safe and thriving. I'm not sure if aliens drink water, but you certainly do, and you need to know that your TAP water is safe. Unfortunately, this is where the bad news comes in. According to a recent study, nearly half of all tap water in the United States may be contaminated with dangerous chemicals that do not degrade in your body. This is troubling, because vulnerable areas are disproportionately affected.You may be aware that 75% of black Americans are likely to live near polluting facilities, and Hispanic Americans are twice as likely to reside in areas where drinking water does not even meet legal criteria. what's more, Congress has redirected 2.3 billion dollars away from fixing our water system, but this is where you come in. Together, we can make some noise and get our leaders to take some action. Let's push for replacing lead pipes and repairing old infrastructure, and join together weather for cleaner water.

During a 2006 flight to the International Space Station, astronaut Pierce Sellers was out spacewalking to make some repairs to the ship. He needed to spread a special goo and to do so, he decided to use his favorite spatula. Before he knew it, Sellers lost grip of the spatula, causing it to drift out into space. If aliens find it, they'll be able to make some eggs or flip some burgers.When astronauts pee on a spaceship, they dump the urine overboard, causing it to crystallize in space and float around like tiny debris. According to astronauts, this is one of the most beautiful sights in the vastness of space, but they no longer get to see it. P recycling systems have been implemented, converting astronauts' pee into drinkable water, resulting in less pee debris.

An astronaut's glove was one of the first artifacts left in space. Ed White, an American spacewalker, lost his glove on the 1965 Gemini 4 voyage; regrettably, the glove is long gone; it stayed in space for almost a month before burning up as it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere. Not all of the things on our list were lost; some were purposefully discarded by NASA.In 2007, a 635 kilogram tank of ammonia was thrown overboard at a space station the ammonia was part of the cooling system but when the AC was upgraded the ammonia became unnecessary a year after it was thrown out it burned up while falling toward the South Pacific Ocean in 1992 ashes from the legendary Star Trek Creator Gene Roddenberry ended up in space it Before the Apollo 12 mission, sculptor Forrest Myers had an idea to carry a piece of art to the Moon and chose to take this small ceramic wafer and ask six artists to doodle on it, one of them being Andy Warhol. Myers couldn't persuade an astronaut to bring the art aboard, so he persuaded an engineer working on Apollo 12.

The engineer placed the ceramic wafer under the gold covering on the bottom half, which ended up falling on the moon. NASA has never officially acknowledged this, but Myers maintains it's true while exploring the moon with a lunar rover. On the back of a family portrait of himself, his wife, and his children, Charles Duke wrote, "This is the family of astronaut Duke from planet Earth who landed on the moon in April 1972."

One piece of art that has been proven to be on the moon is this aluminum figurine known as the Fallen Astronaut, which is found right next to a plaque with the names of 14 astronauts who disappeared on previous missions when Apollo 11 left the moon. Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong had to leave over 100 items behind to lighten the load so they could return to Earth. Some of those items included cameras, space gear, and of course the US flag, but one of the more interesting items was a small silicone disc that was engraved with nearly 100 messages from NASA employees as well as U.S. and world leaders.
