Who would think of the moon as a giant trash bin? There is a wide list of items that have been lost by astronauts while exploring the moon. Some of the items include; commemorative plaques, American flags, various tools used to work on the spacecrafts, NASA mirrors, lunar rovers and a camera that once belonged to Apollo 17 commander Eugene Cernan.

You won't need a scale if your on the moon. This is due in part to the weaker gravitational pull from the moon, making you as light as a feather. You can also jump much higher.

When Pink Floyd spoke about The Dark Side of the Moon, they really weren't kidding. The moon's shadow can cause your arm to completely disappear. The moon is pitch dark, making it virtually impossible for astronauts to perform certain tasks. Astronauts lost tools due to the pitch darkness on the moon.
