Tkanina i kawałki drewna z samolotu braci Wright, Kitty Hawk, odbyły podróż w LM „Orzeł”.
This may look like just a piece of wood but it's so much more than that.
This piece of the Wright Flyer went from Kitty Hawk to the Sea of Tranquility. Neil Armstrong took it with him on #Apollo11, and it was in the LM when it landed on the Moon:

These pieces of the Wright Flyer were in lunar module Eagle when it landed on the Moon on the Apollo 11 mission. They are on display near the Wright Flyer at the Museum in DC.

This fruitcake flew on Apollo 11, but is in our collection because, shockingly, it wasn't actually consumed.

(...) Nothing about the Apollo 11 mission went unrehearsed: even the photography was practised and programmed. ‘They would loan us a Hasselblad,’ said Michael Collins, the third member of the Apollo 11 mission, who stayed behind in the moon’s orbit in Columbia, the command module, while his companions descended to its surface. Mia Fineman, curator of an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in New York, Apollo’s Muse: The Moon in the Age of Photography (until 22 September), explains in the catalogue that the Hasselblad 70 mm became the camera of choice after the astronaut Walter Schirra – ‘Jolly Wally’ – bought one and took it with him on a Mercury mission to orbit the earth in 1962. The film which Eastman Kodak then made for Nasa was so thin that a roll could accommodate two hundred frames, rather than the usual 12. ‘They would loan us a Hasselblad and we would take it home weekends,’ Collins said. They would ‘take pictures of the kids, fly around in our airplanes, shoot pictures out of the window, and become familiar enough with it so it was second nature’. It was all about preparation – which didn’t mean everything went to plan, as the Nasa transcript of the Apollo 11 flight reveals. That transcript forms the basis of the BBC film Eight Days, in which actors restage a much shortened version of the mission, speaking the astronauts’ words, while conveying the claustrophobia inside the command module. At London’s Science Museum, the command module of Apollo 10 is permanently on show; its size – so impossibly small – is as striking as the capsule’s heat shield, designed to resist scorching on its re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere at 25,000 mph.
