A Form For Everything

FSOs (and other government officials) who travel have to fill out voucher forms to cover/reimburse their expenses.

When I say 'travel', I really mean it. No trip is too unusual to fall outside this rule. If I have to fill out forms to visit Mexico, I certainly have to fill out forms to visit the moon:

 

That's right. This is Buzz Aldrin's official travel form documenting his start and end pints as well as his mode of transportation:
  • Cape Kennedy, Florida to Moon: Government Spacecraft
  • Moon to Cape Kennedy, Florida: Government Spacecraft
Now, technically Aldrin never stayed on the moon, but that's a minor quibble.  The form also notes that all of Aldrin's meals and lodging are covered during the travel period.  

I wonder what the moon's per diem rate is?

  1. It's a bit small and I can't click to enlarge. The picture of the document, I mean. Not my penis.
