Flagstaff's Lunar Legacy

Share

Remember the 50th anniversary (July 20, 2019) of one of humankind’s grandest achievements in setting foot on another world. 

When Neil Armstrong stepped onto the Moon on July 20, 1969, he at once met the audacious challenge of President John F. Kennedy to land an American safely on the Moon, while turning our species into citizens of the world. Over the ensuing three years, 11 other people walked on and explored the Moon. This was possible only with years of preparation, in which many milestones occurred in the Flagstaff area including astronaut science training, instrument development and lunar mapping.

Help us continue the Lunar Legacy.
