6- Apollo 16 Checklist – $206,000
On this tenth manned mission of the Apollo space program the crew was formed by Charles Duke, John Young, and Ken Mattingly.
It was also the first one to land on the so-called lunar highlands and the fifth to land on the moon.
The crew spent almost three days on the lunar surface where they used the second lunar roving vehicle.
The checklist they auctioned for $206,000 in 2009 belonged to Charles Duke. He had a checklist mounted on his writs to remind him of standard operating procedures. Basic procedures like how to exit the spacecraft.
It also included some crude drawings, including that of an astronaut with a nude girl, with the former saying, “Happy birthday, whatever your name is.”
