Neil Armstrong had pieces of the propeller and wing of the Wright Brothers' Wright Flyer in his pocket as he took mankind's first steps on the moon.

When another aeronautical pioneer from Ohio, Neil Armstrong, became the first man to step foot on the moon in 1969, inside his spacesuit pocket was a piece of muslin fabric from the left wing of the original 1903 Wright Flyer along with a piece of wood from the airplaneā€™s left propeller. @Curionic
