Rare Space Auction To Include Artifacts From Apollo 13

It isn't very often the public has the opportunity to buy objects that have been to space.  Your latest chance ends November 30th.

NASA and the U.S. government as a whole work very hard to keep materials from and that have been to space under their control.  Heritage Auctions in Dallas have a few space items up for bid.  Including one interesting artifact from Apollo 13.
