For your delectation, here’s a way cool vintage Soviet space pin depicting our beloved mascot, the Lunokhod “Moonwalker” rover. This one dates from the Lunokhod 1 mission of 1970.
I’m posting this before I go to ebay and find out what the real thing is going to cost me. That’s how much I like you guys, and the design of this little badge.
