Great Balls Of Titanium And Other Space Junk

North Hollywood’s Norton Sales Inc. is the currently hot “junkyard of the stars” — home to bits and pieces of America’s space program you can purchase to complete your Apollo 11-themed living room. Here you can buy cool space program stuff like the Apollo command module engine ($1.5 million), J-2 engine for the Saturn V ($500,000), Thor rocket engine (very cheap at $75,000). There are also knick-knacks you can purchase for a dime, like the delightfully bite-sized chunks of Buzz Aldrin’s zero-gravity petrified, vacuum-sealed-for-freshness astronaut turd.

Rocket engineer Jonathan Goff couldn’t believe there are balls in this universe bigger than his own.
