Apollo 11 spacecraft joysticks top $780K at auction, despite NASA concerns [i]Three joysticks used to fly the historic spacecraft that carried the first astronauts to land on the moon have sold for more than $780,000 — despite NASA having sought their return. Two rotational attitude control sticks and a translation hand controller from the Apollo 11 command module, Columbia, were offered by Julien's Auctions of Beverly Hills on Saturday (July 18), 51 years after the first lunar landing mission. The artifacts were among a small collection of NASA memorabilia included in Julien's Hollywood: Legends and Explorers sale, which also featured a nearly complete spacesuit worn in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film, "2001: A Space Odyssey."[/i]
