Since they didn't bring the lunar module back, he must have disconnected that thing and brought it back with him. I wonder how common that was, bringing pieces back, and how it was accounted for in the mass calculations.

I'm surprised Scott wasn't reprimanded for vandalizing government property.

Probably NASA SOP to prevent aliens from boosting it at some later date. Like pulling the distributor cap when you park in a bad neighborhood.

JayNola just won all the internets for today.
