People reference Apollo 11's mission to the moon as a pinnacle of
scientific achievement. In 1969, NASA scientists successfully sent
explorers through space to walk on the moon, and brought them back
safely. It would
take another year before a man named Bernard Sadow applied for a
patent for a suitcase with wheels on it and sold it at Macy's.
Incidentally, after
returning from the moon, astronauts from Apollo 11, Neil
Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins had to go through
customs. According to documentation, they declared things like
moon rocks, moon dust, and other lunar samples.
