From a flight computer to a toy S**opy, a space-themed auction on Thursday did **t disappoint when it comes to strange outer space paraphernalia.*
The Sotheby’s auction had everything a space nerd could want, including the chance to bid online live through eBay.*

But perhaps the best things about the auction were some of the truly strange items put up for bid.*
Here are five of our favorites:

Sold for: $1.5 million
What is it? This bag (http://www.ebay.com/itm/182629388214) was probably the most controversial item up for auction. The bag — used by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to collect samples on the moon — has a long and storied history, which includes being effectively lost by NASA and sold at auction for only $995 in 2015, according to the space history website collectSPACE.com (http://www.collectspace.com//news/news-072017a-sothebys-space-auction-moon-bag.html).* Read more...
