Apollo 'hook-up': New keychain replicates carabiner used on the moon

Now you have can get "hooked" on space history every time you grab for your car keys.

Luna Replicas, a space collectibles dealer, has partnered with Global Effects, a Hollywood prop house, to produce full-size, fully-functional reproductions of the tether hook that was used by NASA's Apollo astronauts while on the moon and during deep space EVAs (extravehicular activities or spacewalks). More than just a display object, the replica hook has been paired with a nylon strap and metal shackle to securely hold up to eight keys.
