Did you know several Playboy models hitched a ride to the moon? 😃 Well, images of the models hitched a ride. LOL The cuff list prank is by far the best. Conrad and Bean got quite a surprise on the moon. They were smart enough not to comment on the radio. Nice reminder that the astronauts were professionals but they also knew how to have fun. A photo of the cuff list is shown in the business insider link. The Playmates were Miss September and Miss October 1967. Their names were Angela Dorian and Reagan Wilson. This was when Playboy only featured Topless shots. Nothing explicit. > **[Up for Auction: The Playboy ‘Stowaway’ of Apollo 12 | TIME.com](https://newsfeed.time.com/2011/01/14/up-for-auction-the-playboy-stowaway-of-apollo-12/)** > > When Apollo 12 took off in 1969, the three-man crew had a secret stowaway on board: a Playboy playmate. And now she's on sale. A photo of DeDe Lind, taken from Playboy's November 1969 issue, was secretly stuck to a locker in the ship using Velcro and...

I’m missing something. From your link: > [@](#): > > While astronauts Pete Conrad and Alan Bean walked on the moon’s surface, third crew member Richard Gordon stumbled upon the image. While the first two were on the surface, Gordon would have been orbiting the moon in the Command Module. The way it’s written makes it sound like Conrad and Bean were just outside the door when it happened. And this particular picture didn’t actually make it all the way to the moon. ---

Apparently a little ceramic tile inscribed with scribbles by famous artists was also stashed on board - it includes Andy Warhol’s stylised signature - stylised, that is, as a line drawing of a cock and balls. > **[Moon Museum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Museum)** > > Moon Museum is a small ceramic wafer three-quarters by one-half inch (19 by 13 mm) in size, containing artworks by six prominent artists from the late 1960s. The artists with works in the "museum" are Robert Rauschenberg, David Novros, John Chamberlain, Claes Oldenburg, Forrest Myers and Andy Warhol. > This wafer was supposedly covertly attached to a leg of the Lunar Module Intrepid, and subsequently left on the Moon during Apollo 12.

The way it’s written makes it sound like Conrad and Bean were just outside the door when it happened. And this particular picture didn’t actually make it all the way to the moon. I think your right. The cuff lists (with a couple photos) were worn on the moon. The photo in the ship’s locker orbited the moon. ---

IIRC, the girly pix incident made it into the Apollo 12 episode of Tom Hanks’ excellent miniseries, [_From the Earth to the Moon_.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1380408/?ref_=ttep_ep7) Dave Foley of _The Kids in the Hall_ played Alan Bean. ---

Didn’t someone on a previous mission _(Mercury series maybe?)_ get in trouble for taking along a sandwich for a snack? Weight limits calculated down to probably a gram and he brings lunch 🙂 Edit: ah I think this is it: [Gemini 3 and the first (contraband) corned beef sandwich in space 50 years ago | collectSPACE](http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-032315a-gemini3-corned-beef-sandwich.html) ---

Say what you will, Earth Culture was well represented in these adventures 😃 I make a special effort to ditch my daily-wear Apple Watch for the Omega Speedmaster Professional once a week when I go to church. That watch is too beautiful to leave tucked away in a drawer. I haven’t sipped Tang in a long while though.
