This vintage color calendar photo of Playboy Playmate Miss August 1967, DeDe Lind, was stowed away in the Apollo 12 command module Yankee Clipper during its November 1969 voyage to the moon. It was a little joke by the ground crew for astronaut Dick Gordon, one that also included NSFW pin-ups taped inside his colleagues’ lunar manuals. Miss August was also popular among troops serving in Vietnam, and reportedly received more mail than any other Playmate before her time and since.

The calendar is up for auction. (Update: the photo sold at auction for $17,511.00). Free on the Internet: some not-safe-for-the-space-station photos of Lind.
