Ownership of Lunokhod 2 and the Luna 21 lander was sold by the Lavochkin Association for US$68,500 in December 1993 at a Sotheby's auction in New York[30] (although the catalogue incorrectly lists lot 68A as Luna 17/Lunokhod 1).[31] The buyer was computer gaming entrepreneur and astronaut's son Richard Garriott, who is also known by the name of his gaming character Lord British. Garriott stated in a 2001 interview: \"I purchased Lunakod 21 [sic] from the Russians. I am now the world's only private owner of an object on a foreign celestial body.", "sig": "1d56f2fff04af7ac41bf975f7f0f91d19df5658a3bfa5b6c685e28601dd6d4a1779729fa3a51c8906894a0240ad2968a5aa23f29eef3caf7cc817feafb36919f" }
