  10. Soviet cosmonauts Georgy Beregovoy and Pavel Popovich present an engraved hunting shotgun as a gift to American astronaut Neil Armstrong, the Soviet Union, 1970

    “That night the cosmonauts invited me to a dinner. There was much toasting going on. No women-this was a stag affair, so Valentina was not there. They presented me a very nice shotgun inscribed with my name on the stock-a twelve-gauge double-barrel side-by-side that the U.S. government permitted me to keep.” - Neil Armstrong

  12. What adventurous setting inspired many children's toys? Outer space!

    Toys from the 2 decades in which human spaceflight went from science fiction to reality—the 1950s and 1960s—added lights and sound, while Japan's toy manufacturers perfected the small motors that gave their toys much-prized movement.

    Colourful examples from 1965 are: (clockwise) Astro 8 flying saucer by Marubishi-Yamazaki, Dan Dare Space Control Radio Station by JL Randall (1961), Moon Explorer by Masudaya, and Moon Rocket rocketship by Matsuya.

    Such toys were usually battery powered, though Astro 8 was friction powered via its wheels. Space Control Radio Station had sound—handsets plugged in to the console, which had a Morse-code lever and scroll for decoding. Moon Rocket could simulate a landing; it mechanically set itself upright, opened a door, and then lowered a ramp.
