In 1971, Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell threw a metal pole like a javelin on the moon: it still lies near one of Shepard's golf balls

During the Apollo 14 mission, astronauts Edgar Mitchell and Alan Shepard showcased their playful spirit while traversing the lunar surface. Mitchell demonstrated his javelin skills by hurling a solar-wind experiment pole, while Shepard notably took swings with a golf club he had stowed away. These artifacts lie undisturbed in a lunar crater, illustrating the lighter, human aspect of space exploration.
