Apollo astronaut lost his wedding ring during his trip to the moon... and found it again during a spacewalk.

IF YOU'VE WATCHED Apollo 11's moon landing, you know Charlie Duke's voice. Officially known as General Charles Moss Duke, Jr., he was the southern drawl from mission control on the other end of Neil Armstrong's famous landing speech.

Duke, now 80, turns out to be about what you imagine from someone named Charlie Duke. He’s from Charlotte, North Carolina, an Eagle Scout, and an accomplished Air Force test pilot. He's walked on the Moon. And he knows that when you venture beyond the atmosphere, all the preparation on Earth can't make you ready for everything you'll face.

Three years after Duke met Armstrong's "The eagle has landed” with “Roger, twang—tranquility," he found himself on the other end of the radio, as the lunar module pilot on Apollo 16. And he faced a very different, unexpected challenge—one no astronaut had trained for.
