Dr. Michael Neufeld, the senior curator of space history at the Smithsonian Institution National Air & Space Museum (and curator of the center’s current “Destination: Moon” exhibit) offers some special insight.
“Apollo 11” was the designation given to the flight that brought the first humans to Earth’s only natural satellite. Two Americans stepped on the moon’s surface on July 21, 1969. Along with dozens of artifacts from the Apollo 11 mission, the exhibition’s centerpiece is the Command Module Columbia — the only portion of the historic spacecraft to complete the first mission to land a man on the moon and safely return him to Earth.
During this program, Dr. Neufeld will share insights into his work at the National Air & Space Museum and his research on the Apollo program, explore the process of creating the “Destination Moon” exhibit and discuss how America made history by putting a man on the moon.
