Space Center Houston is the first stop for the exhibit “Destination Moon: The Apollo 11 Mission.”

Inside glass containers and between motion sensors are more than twenty rare artifacts that tell the story of humanity’s first steps on the moon.

The display includes the container that held a lunar sample and even a space survival kit.

The artifacts are almost 50 years old now, but even small details have been preserved. If you go to the case with astronaut Buzz Aldrin’s helmet and gloves… look closely. You can actually see a reminder on the gloves to take that now iconic photograph of a footprint on the moon.

The traveling exhibition is a joint venture between NASA and the Smithsonian. It will be on display in Houston through March 2018.
