Fifty years after Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took “one giant leap for mankind,” and that image of putting a man on the moon remains a source of pride for most Americans. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, the Nevada State Museum has a host of activities planned July 23-26 – programs designed to look back at the past, learn about the present and inspire the future. One part is a new case in the “Our Nevada Stories Gallery” that features the two Goodwill Moon Rocks that were collected by the astronauts on the moon and given to the people of the State of Nevada.
