Product Description
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." These were the words heard around the world on July 20, 1969, as American astronauts accomplished the first manned lunar landing. People everywhere watched and waited as Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins embarked on a daring eight-day space voyage to a place where no one had gone before. This "museum in a box" features 16 meticulously reproduced artifacts from the Apollo 11 mission, from its heart-pounding launch to its triumphant splashdown.

It contains replicas of several artifacts from the Apollo 11 mission contributed by the Astronauts (and from the Smithsonian). Sample contents are a replica of a page from Collins' 'solo book' he kept in the CM while Armstrong and Aldrin were on the moon, copies of photos of Aldrin's children left on the moon, and most amusingly a copy of Armstrong's travel voucher claiming as destination "moon."

There is also a brief and interesting short paperback book (more a pamphlet, actually) recounting highlights of the Apollo 11 mission. It doesn't contain any new revelations, but is a good general treatment of the mission.

I rated this as 5 stars for it's uniqueness and originality. Serious Apollo historians will not find any new information in the box set, but it IS an interesting compendium for anyone. This would also be perfect for someone just...Read more
