Amelia Earhart Watch -- Shannon Walker is a member of The Ninety-Nines, an international organization of women pilots. Legendary aviator Amelia Earhart served as the group's first president in 1929. That's why Walker, a NASA astronaut aboard Soyuz TMA-19 and ISS expedition 24 and 25, was entrusted with the Earhart's watch before mission in 2010. After 82 years, the historical timepiece once again flew above the Atlantic as the spacecraft docked with the Zvezda service module. The timepiece isn't the only piece of Earhart memorabilia to leave the planet. In November 2009, astronaut Randy Bresnik, the grandson of Earhart's authorized photographer, brought a piece of Earhart's with him as well: her scarf.

Lightsaber -- Luke Skywalker's 1.5-pound Jedi lightsaber found its way onboard the 23rd mission bound for the ISS in 2007 as part of the 30th anniversary celebration for the franchise. The lightsaber, which was used in Return of the Jedi, received a proper send-off as Chewbacca, Boba Fett, and Stormtroopers were on hand when it left Oakland International Airport. George Lucas was also present at Kennedy Space Center to watch his legacy get a little closer to that galaxy far, far away.

Corned Beef Sandwich -- One of the few truly infamous sandwiches in history, this particular corned beef sandwich (on rye) was the smuggled property of astronaut John Young, who snuck it aboard the Gemini 3 mission in 1965. Young wasn't too thrilled about subsisting on dehydrated space chow during his 5-hour mission, so he decided to bring a bag lunch. He even shared his corned beef contraband with his co-pilot Gus Grissom, who had an admitted weakness for the food.

Legos -- Legos were involved in two recent NASA missions. The first was in August 2011, when NASA sent its Juno orbiter on a six-year mission to study the gas giant's atmosphere, magnetosphere, and gravity fields. Juno carried with it 1.5-inch tributes with the likenesses of Galileo Galilei (for his famous observations of Jupiter's moons) and the Roman gods Jupiter and Juno, the planet and mission's namesakes. The spacecraft is still in transit to the planet, but once it arrives in 2016, Juno's camera will provide color images of Jupiter, including a first detailed glimpse of the planet's poles.

Playboy -- On November 14, 1969, NASA launched its second manned expedition to the moon, Apollo 12, and with it a few scantily clad stowaways. As a joke between the prime and backup crews, the latter crew included some Playboy spreads in the Apollo 12 crew's checklists, which are attached to the astronauts' wrists as they survey the lunar landscape. The four pictures also included small captions like "seen any interesting hills and valleys?"

Salmonella -- Bad news for would-be spacefarers. In 2007, researchers at Arizona State University sent a sample of salmonella in orbit for 12 days aboard the space shuttle Atlantis, and the results were a little frightening—the bacteria became even more virulent. When the supercharged bacteria returned from their voyage, animal testing showed that the strand was three times more likely to kill its host.

Wright Brothers' Flyer 1 -- The flyer that made history at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903 has actually been aboard many NASA missions. The first was in 1969, when a piece of wood and fabric from the original flyer was placed in the lunar module of Apollo 11. Those pieces are now on display in Kitty Hawk. Separate portions of wood and fabric were also entrusted to Mike Smith aboard the ill-fated Challenger shuttle in 1986. The pieces were actually recovered from the wreckage.
