[i]Before Apollo 16's launch in 1972, NASA photographer M. Edward Thomas prevailed on the mission's commander John Young to carry a white, pocket-sized triple combination into space. ... Robert Livingston, one of the organizers and the executive vice president at RR Auction, said this book of scripture is "absolutely one of a kind." "As far as we know, it's the only Book of Mormon that ever went to the moon," Livingston said. "There were other microfilm Bibles brought on Apollo 13 and Apollo 14, but never a Book of Mormon, because of the limited weight and space restrictions. Astronauts couldn't take large objects with them. So this is the only pocket-sized Book of Mormon that was ever taken on an Apollo mission."[/i]
