Have you ever wondered what would happen if you leave something personal on a place like the moon? Here’s proof that whatever you leave on the moon will stay there. In 1972, Astronaut Charlie Duke went to visit the Moon on Apollo 16.
Before his trip, he decided to take a photo with his wife and two kids. He left the photo on the surface, where it still remains to this day, along with his footprints. He also had a lunar rover along with him on his trip, and you can see the tracks in the photo on the corner.
Behind the Photo
Are you guys a fan of the Beatles? Do you remember their famous pedestrian crossing album cover? Well, here’s a little secret for you, when the Beatles shot their iconic Abbey Road cover in 1969, the primary album photo had to be retaken a number of times for it to be exactly perfect for the cover.
Wait for a second in this photo; they were going the wrong way! Check out the photo; here’s Paul, George, Ringo, and John making their way back across the street for another take. They must have had quite a number of bloopers in this shot before getting the right one.
Americans Leaving Vietnam
A lot happened in the 1970s. In fact, there were a lot of significant and dramatic moments in history. America’s departure from Vietnam was considered one of the saddest and most heart-wrenching moments of the 1970s, as you can see in the photo.
Seeing as a lot of people tried to fly out of the country and escape, they clung to the final chopper for dear life but unfortunately got punched and kicked for their efforts to board it.
The Cape Canaveral Missile Test Annex
In September of 1962, John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson received a tour of the Cape Canaveral Missile Test Annex. In the photo shown above, it's kind of hard to imagine seeing both the President and Vice President in the same room as all the other members of the administration, let alone getting along with one another.
It’s rare, because this barely happens, and as you can see, everyone seems to be in a heated argument already. What do you guys think of this photo?
The Real Anastasia
Were you a fan of the Disney film Anastasia growing up? That story was actually based on a real-life story. Of course, it wasn’t exactly the same, but it came pretty close. This photo shows a photo of Tsar Nicholas II’s missing daughter Anastasia as he playfully holds a cigarette to her mouth before she went missing.
During the revolution of 1917, Nicholas was executed along with his entire royal family, but since his daughter went missing, there were rumors that she had survived the slaughter and vanished.
