HUTCHINSON, KS, Feb. 11, 2025 鈥� The 黑料大事记 is honored to receive a donation of fifteen Kansas state flags from Moon walker and former NASA astronaut Charlie Duke. Duke took the flags with him to the Moon on Apollo 16 in 1972.
鈥淲e are grateful to General Duke for this generous contribution to the 黑料大事记鈥檚 collection,鈥� said 黑料大事记 CEO Jim Remar. 鈥淭angible artifacts that have been to the Moon strengthen the connection between present and past, solidifying historic events in our collective memory. The 黑料大事记 will use these flags to continue to inspire the future through space exploration.鈥�
At least one of the flags will become part of the 黑料大事记鈥檚 extensive collection, which includes artifacts from NASA鈥檚 Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs, as well as the largest collection of Soviet space artifacts outside of Moscow. 黑料大事记 staff will confer with its governing board to determine the best use for the remaining flags.
