According to NASA officials, this was due to an official error. But really. The bag was used by the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 to collect various samples from the moon, and NASA officials have denied selling it deliberately, calling it an official error.
The historic bag was sold to Nancy Carlson of Illinois for just 99 995 last year, and NASA is now fighting a legal battle to get it back.
NASA officials were unaware that the historic Apollo 11 bag had been sold, so when Nancy Carlson sent the bag to NASA to check whether the bag was genuine or counterfeit, NASA officials were upset and refused to return the bag to the buyer. Have started consulting legal experts.
Nancy, on the other hand, does not want to lose her rare item and is ready to fight a court battle with NASA. But it is not uncommon for NASA to seek out in-house benefits by selling rare items. Earlier, in 2005, the director of the Kansas Space Center sold some rare items used in space.
