RR Auction: Space Exploration Featuring Apollo 11 50th Anniversary

Auction Details

Fifty years ago, on July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 LM 'Eagle' touched down on the surface of the moon. Astronaut Neil Armstrong descended the spacecraft's ladder and spoke his immortal words: 'That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.' Buzz Aldrin soon followed behind him, and the two became the first earthly beings to set foot upon another celestial body. This catalog honors the Apollo 11 astronauts, their predecessors and those who made the historic mission possible, and their enduring legacy in manned spaceflight. With over 500 lots highlighted by autographs, hardware, spacesuit parts, and flown artifacts, this auction brings to life the history of the space program. RR Auction is a globally recognized and trusted auction house specializing in historical autographs and artifacts, and is known as a space market leader.
