We Sent a Dick Pic to the Moon—And We’re Doing It Again

THE FIRST DICK pic allegedly landed on the moon on Nov. 19, 1969. It blasted off from Earth five days earlier, hidden aboard Apollo 12’s lunar lander by a mysterious NASA engineer known only as “John F.”

When the Apollo astronauts careened back to Earth on Nov. 24, the lander—and its illicit cargo—stayed on the moon, where it presumably remains today, thanks to the moon’s notorious lack of atmosphere.

Now, it’s possible that the cosmic phallus in question, crudely scribbled onto a ceramic tile no bigger than a thumbnail, wasn’t genitalia at all. In fact, its artist—Andy Warhol—claimed the doodle is merely his initials, artfully arranged; and if you choose to see it differently, well then, that’s on you and your own dirty mind.

Warhol was one of six artists whose miniature drawings were smuggled to the moon on the Apollo 12 mission. Crammed onto that same ceramic chip were less lurid-seeming illustrations from Robert Rauschenberg, David Novros, John Chamberlain, Claes Oldenburg, and Forrest Myers, the guy who organized the project. This chip, dubbed the Moon Museum, is widely considered the first piece of artwork to grace the moon’s surface, but even that claim is up for debate.
