Traces of humanity found on the moon
Apollo 11 landed on the moon in 1969. Since then, a total of 12 astronauts of different missions up to Apollo 17 have stepped onto the moon. The photos taken by NASA’s satellite orbiting the moon clearly shows the traces of the Apollo astronauts left 50 years ago.
① Experimental devices installed on the moon
The Apollo astronauts left behind various experimental devices on the moon. A great example is the lunar laser ranging retroreflector array installed on the lunar surface by Apollo 11. It is used to measure the distance between the Earth and the moon.

The Apollo astronauts only kept the films and left the cameras behind to reduce the payload for their return journey.
② Footprints of astronauts
The moon has no flowing water and atmosphere, and therefore erosion rarely occurs. A crater as old as two billion years has been well preserved. This is why the moon provides helpful materials for research on the history of the solar system.
It is not at all impossible for the footprints of the Apollo astronauts to remain until the day when cats evolve into intellectual beings.
③ Lunar module
The astronauts used only the upper section of the lunar module for their return journey, and the lower section remains on the moon to this day.

Apollo 15, 16, and 17 brought lunar rovers to the moon. These lunar rovers still remain on the moon.
Also, 96 bags of astronaut poop were left behind on the moon. These are the bags that Tutti kicks around!
They might be discovered by extraterrestrial beings in the remote future and help them find out what earthlings ate back then.
This was the first photo taken by Neil Armstrong after landing on the moon. A photo of a bag of poop!
