A small piece of the Apollo 11 engine is among thousands of artifacts that will be sent to the moon when 's Artemis 1 launches at the end of August. While NASA’s first mission back to the moon will be unmanned, there will be sentimental cargo from 1968's Apollo 11 mission on board - including a bolt, nut and washer from one of their ship’s engines, as well as a small moon rock that was collected by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.Among thousands of items in the official flight kit, several stand out, including a pen nib used by Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz that's been leant to the mission. Schulz was a well-known enthusiast for the lunar missions.
