Summary

Alan Shepard gave Carlos Villagomez a signed golf ball that he believes was flown to the moon.

Shepard was the first American astronaut to walk on the moon in 1971 .

Shepard had NASA 's permission to carry out the "moon shot" so long as it was a non-commercial activity.

Shepard flew Maxfli balls, a brand established by the Dunlop Tire and Rubber Corporation .

Daisy Airgun Museum in Arkansas says it was Daisy golf balls that flew to the moon.

If you could find a safe, non-intrusive way to get close enough to read the brand marks on Shepard's two golf balls on the moon, there may be nothing to see.

The balls were dropped into an environment that swings from 250 degrees Fahrenheit ( 121 degrees Celsius) in the daylight to minus 208 degrees Fahrenheit in the dark.
