I had a friend who worked on the Apollo mission doing power supply system setup for Apollo 16 (?).
She and her partner got the equipment together for encapsulation and decided to take a break and smoke a joint.
When they got back they had enough for one more joint.
They rolled it up, wrapped it in aluminum wrap, placed it among the electronics and encased it and the electronics in the potting compound.
This power supply system was made part of the Hi Gain Antanna Array in the Apollo 16 flight to the moon. After the landing the Array was launched back with the Landing module and was crashed back to the moon following the mission return.
My statement is you will find this joint on the moon if you ever find the crash site for this High Gain Antanna system.
I can not validate this story because the friend that told this first person story has since died and she never did tell me the name of her friend.
I have been looking for this story for many years and have to assume that it has not made it to the internet. This is the first time this story has been posted anywhere.
