Gunpowder, Sears, and a lunar plague!? 🌕😲 Here are some lesser-known fun facts about the iconic Apollo 11 NASA mission that put humankind on the moon for the first time.

The Apollo 11 NASA mission launched from Cape Kennedy on July 16, 1969. Apollo 11 was carrying Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. The primary objective of the NASA Apollo 11 mission was to complete a national goal set by President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961 to perform alunar landing and return to Earth.

This event was televised and an estimated 650 million people watched Neil Armstrong's televised image and heard his voice describe the July 20th, 1969 event as he took and made the statement "...one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind".

Among the world's largest science centers and one of New England’s most attended cultural institutions, the Museum of Science engages 1.4 million visitors a year to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through interactive exhibits and programs. Nearly an additional 2 million people experience the Museum annually through touring exhibitions, Planetarium productions, and PreK – 8 EiE® STEM curricula through the William and Charlotte Bloomberg Science Education Center. Established in 1830, the Museum is home to such iconic exhibits as the Theater of Electricity, the Charles Hayden Planetarium, and the Mugar Omni Theater. The Museum influences formal and informal STEM education through research and national advocacy, as a strong community partner and loyal educator resource, and as a leader in universal design, developing exhibits and programming accessible to all.
