"Since the camera had to be deployed before [Neil] Armstrong and [Buzz] Aldrin exited the Lunar Module if it was truly going to capture their first steps on the surface of the moon, the camera was stowed in a shock-proof and insulated mount on the LM's Modularized Equipment Stowage Assembly," Sotheby's said in a statement to CNBC.

Not only is this kitsch space home to John Dillinger's getaway car, Elvis Presley's personal car and the Batmobile, it is also home to a NASA exhibit with a quarter scale lunar module and space shuttle tire and a White House exhibition that showcases artifacts and furniture that once graced the rooms of the White House.

The HTC Vive demo essentially consists of two scenes: one places the viewer on the surface of the moon next to the Apollo Lunar Module, with Aldrin appearing to address the viewer and talk about his larger aspirations for space exploration, and a second takes place in space alongside a visualization of a concept vehicle, with commentary from Aldrin.

Double-page spreads juxtapose the stages of the journey, from launch to triumphant splashdown, with inset images of a Tang-sipping kid in hornrims and sneakers, building and transporting his model rocket, testing out a cardboard lunar module and joyfully bounding through his own moon walk after watching Neil Armstrong's first steps on a fuzzy black-and-white television.

Thanks to what we've learned from the Apollo missions, engineers have found that a large lander about the size of the Apollo Lunar Module — capable of spewing out gas at around 2,400 meters per second — can propel rocks and gravel-sized particles up to 20113 to 100 meters per second, sending them tremendous distances (up to six football fields away).

"I now look at it as an opportunity to leave something behind for younger generations after I leave this planet for the last time," says Cernan, who scratched his daughter Tracy's initials into the lunar dust shortly before climbing back into the lunar module [moments after crewmate Harrison Schmitt] and beginning his 239,000-mile return trip back to Earth in 1972.

When the Apollo astronauts climbed into the command module as they approached Earth, they left the suitcase behind in the lunar module; then they fired the lunar module's engines to divert it to the area over the Tonga Trench, one of the deepest parts of the Pacific—so the cask would fall into the sea and sink to the bottom.

Apollo 11's Neil Armstrong working near the lunar module during a moonwalk "The confluence of space-connected speakers may just be a coincidence, but as it is the anniversary of the first manned moon landing and first robotic Mars landing, it wouldn't be a complete surprise if there is a running space-theme to their remarks," Robert Pearlman, a space historian and editor of collectSPACE.

Well, when we first came in, were first selected in our group, we had a choice—rather, we had the right to state a preference for what technical assignment would we like, and there were lists of technical assignments, concentrating on the lunar module, concentrating on the command module, concentrating on the ancillary equipment like suits and other equipment, and I don't remember them all at this point.
