Lightbulb NASA Space Craft Trivia...

Did you know that ?

The Mars Rover has metal from the Twin Towers on it ?

The spacecraft going to Pluto has some ashes from the astronomer ,who discovered Pluto, onboard.

The spacecraft going to Jupiter has a copy of Leonardo Da Vinci's writings of his discovery of the Jovian moons, on board.

Little known NASA trivia, interesting!!!
