The Prize

Take home this incredible medallion commemorating the 40th anniversary of the first lunar mission, Apollo 11!

Apollo 11 was the space mission that took the first men to the moon, US astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, on July 20, 1969 at 20:17:40. Armstrong was the first to set foot on lunar soil, six hours after the moon landing; Aldrin joined him 19 minutes later. The two spent about two and a quarter hours exploring the site called Statio Tranquillitatis, and collected 21.5 kg of lunar material which they brought back to Earth. The third member of the mission, Michael Collins (command module pilot), remained in lunar orbit while the other two landed on the surface; 21.5 hours after the moon landing, the three reunited and Collins piloted the command module Columbia on a trajectory back to Earth. The mission ended on July 24, with splashdown in the Pacific Ocean.

This medallion contains metal collected on the lunar soil during the Apollo mission!

Features:

- 4cm in diameter
- includes "flying metal" collected on lunar soil
