New Exhibit

BackToTheMoon-Logo

On display until November 18th

In 1969 Neil Armstrong took “one small step for man” during the Apollo 11 mission. More than fifty years later, humanity is headed back to the Moon.

NASA’s Artemis Program will land the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface and set up a permanent presence in orbit. Using what we learn on the Moon will help us take the next giant leap in exploration: Mars.

People have not landed on the Moon since 1972 with the Apollo Program. While we know a lot about our closest neighbor, there is still much to learn.
