In 1971, St. Christopher Episcopal Church in League City, Texas, gave a Bible to a parishioner, David Scott, to take with him on a business trip. To this day, the congregation still has not gotten it back.
That’s because he left it on the moon.

The Bible was left on the lunar rover in the Hadley Plains area of the Moon by Apollo 15 Mission Commander Colonel David R. Scott on August 2, 1971. The Bible was provided by the people of Saint Christopher Episcopal Church League City, Texas, where Scott was a member.
