The Fallen Astronaut
In the 1970s, a bid to send the first & the only art in space turned into war between an artist & an astronaut. Belgian artist Paul Van Hoeydonck wanted to celebrate mankind's explorations into space by sending his work to the moon during the Apollo 15 mission. Astronauts did take his art to the moon but quite unlike the way the artist wanted. The ensuing chaos was larger the size of a black hole!
