For those of us that remember Walter Cronkite reporting on the Apollo 11 mission, this framed full-size reprint of the New York Times from July 21, 1969 will bring back strong memories. A whole generation was so enthralled with the mission that tens of millions were listening and watching, live, on fuzzy black and white televisions as Neil Armstrong exclaimed, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." It was a culmination of a dream that dated back millennium, although the landing could trace its specific origin to a speech by the President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy in 1961 who said, "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth." 14" x 19" memorabilia plaque includes pictures of the lunar module, man's first step on the moon, stories and comments from Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins, and more. The perfect artifact to commemorate NASA's 40th Anniversary of the science, technology, and massive national effort that went into landing on the moon.
