User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"I think it was Ronald De Boer after he left Barcelona." Not the case - both Ronald and Frank played for Rangers, not Celtic. No Dutch players have played for both - Rangers were linked with ex-Celt Pierre Van Hooijdonk when Dick Advocaat was in charge, Celtic were linked with Giovanni Van Bronckhorst before he left Arsenal. Neither came about.

"Before reentering the LM, the CDR dropped a golf ball onto the surface. Using the head of a "6-iron" attached to the handle of the contingency sample collector, he attempted to strike the ball but struck mostly soil and barely moved the ball. The second swing sent the ball a few feet to the right. He dropped a second ball which he hit into a crater about 50 feet away."
