Space oddities

鈥淣o coffee or milk has gone so fast or travelled so far since man鈥檚 first use
of them,鈥 said Yuri Gagarin of his famous in-flight meal 40 years ago this
month. And now it鈥檚 up for sale. A leftover tube of coffee and milk, part of
Neil Armstrong鈥檚 spacesuit and a Moon map covered with lunar dust will
be among lots auctioned by Christie鈥檚 East in New York next month. The coffee is
expected to fetch around $3500. Other lots include a letter written by
Gagarin, which includes a lyrical description of the view of Earth from space.
The letter is described by auction director Richard Austin as 鈥淐olumbus鈥檚 letter
from space鈥.
