One small snap for man

Man in the moon ... picture on lunar surface

THE youngest astronaut to walk on the moon secretly left behind a family snap — with a note written on the back for ALIENS. 

 

Spaceman Charles Duke placed the photo of himself, wife Dottie and sons Tom and Charles in a plastic folder then discreetly dropped it.

Just in case it was found by aliens, the Apollo 16 pilot wrote on the back: “This is the family of Astronaut Duke from Planet Earth. Landed on the Moon, April 1972.”
