Episode Details

A lost golf ball was actually found on the moon! Back in 1971, astronaut Alan Shepard decided to take a swing while he was up there on Apollo 14. Talk about a cosmic tee-off! He used a makeshift club and sent that ball soaring into space, making history as the first person to play golf on the moon. The ball didn't just disappear into the lunar abyss—it was later spotted by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in 2009. So, next time you shank one into the rough, just remember, at least you're not retrieving your ball from another planet!
