In this week's episode, curators Melissa and Poppy embark on an intergalactic mission for the coolest space-themed artefacts museums have to offer! We discover artworks rocketed into outer space, learn about the first ever British astronaut, Helen Sharman, and marvel at the astonishing amount of (literal) crap astronauts have left on the moon.
And for this week's Item Spotlight, we're throwing it back to the American Civil War and a top secret message left inside President Lincoln's watch...
