Priceless NASA Artifact Sold Against NASA's Wishes. Apollo 1. 1 landed on the Moon, an unsurpassed milestone in the history of human exploration. To celebrate, luxury auction house Sotheby’s is launching a mission of its own: to sell the shit out of some priceless artifacts from the American and Soviet space programs, including one that, uh, NASA didn’t really want to see sold.
