Each astronaut was allowed to carry one Personal Preference Kit (PPK) during a Mercury, Gemini or Apollo mission. There were 2 sizes available to the astronaut. The larger one was 10"x10"x2" thick. The smaller one was 8"x4"x2" thick. Regardless of size, the PPK could not weigh more than one half pound. That doestn't leave much for the astronaut to carry. The one thing they were each allowed for entertainment was one cassette tape with music of their own choosing.
Riding in a rocket to the moon and back is not like riding in a car across the country. The astronauts were very busy most of the time with housekeeping, maintenance and guidance chores. They were also busy with various scientific experiments both on the way to the moon and back. There really isn't any down time in space. NASA knows that time in space is very valuable and they keep their astronauts very busy most of the time.
