NEW YORK (AP) — Buzz Aldrin’s jacket worn on his historic first
mission to the moon’s surface in 1969 has been auctioned off to
a bidder for nearly $2.8 million.

The $2,772,500 paid for the Apollo 11 Inflight Coverall Jacket is
the highest for any American space-flown artifact sold at auction, according to Sotheby’s, which handled the sale. The unidentified
winning bidder, who participated by phone, outlasted several
others in a bidding that spanned almost 10 minutes.

Buzz Aldrin ( Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr.) turned 92 in January.

The musician, actor, film producer and Rolling Stones front man
Mick Jagger was born in Dartford, Kent, England on July 26, 1943.

Raised in a middle-class English family, Michael Philip Jagger
attended the London School of Economics but left without
graduating in order to pursue a career in music. In the early
1960s, Jagger, along with Brian Jones, Keith Richards and Ian
Stewart, founded the Rolling Stones, which would become one
of the world’s most popular and enduring rock and roll bands.
The group’s many hit songs include “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”

On July 26, 1908, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) 
was born when U.S. Attorney General Charles Bonaparte (below) 
orders a group of newly hired federal investigators to report to
Chief Examiner Stanley W. Finch of the Department of Justice.

One year later, the Office of the Chief Examiner was renamed
the Bureau of Investigation, and in 1935 it became the Federal
Bureau of Investigation.
