Available in person and online! Register now for the Zoom link.

On July 20, 1969, at 4:17 PM EDT Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin successfully landed on the moon at Tranquility Base. A few hours later, at 10:56 PM EDT, 238,900 miles away a command center in Houston received the transmission “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” as Neil Armstrong stepped out onto the moon’s surface.

Presented by Karen Kincaid Brady, M.S.H.P., Preservation Moon will look at this historic moment through communications with the command center in Houston, images, videos, and satellite data. It will also view Tranquility Base as a cultural landscape and consider the potential necessity for preservation at the site.
