On the moon's surface, 'blads.  I don't know that NASA sent any other
camera to the surface.  Interesting thing about the lunar 'blads --
they didn't have viewfinders.

I'm not sure NASA has ever sent any Leicas into space (NASA seems to like
Nikon for 35mm). The Russians, of course, sent a Laika into earth orbit
about forty years ago :-)
