If you're a gamer of a certain age, there's a very good chance you have a way-cool vintage joystick lying around somewhere. But despite all those hours burned on Wing Commander , your flight stick probably can't compete with this controller used by the Apollo 15 team to land on the surface of the moon.

RR Auction will sell off this one-of-a-kind collectible during its Aviation and Space event later this month. The joystick was used by Commander Dave Scott to manually land the lunar module safely on the moon's surface."Objects coming directly from moon walkers and that have been in their private collections since returning to Earth are unquestionably the most sought after," said RR Auctions' Bobby Livingston. The auction house expects the joystick to sell for as much as $300,000 USD.
