Description
Framed Apollo 11 mission patch was presented to NASA's Kennedy Space Center during the July 21, 2014, when the center's Operations and Checkout Building was renamed the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building. The patch was flown aboard Apollo 11 in 1969. In 1987, all three crew members - Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins - signed the patch and presented it to former NASA Administrator James Fletcher for safekeeping until it could be presented to the first crew to land on Mars. What is unique about this patch is its inscription that reads To be presented to the Mars 1 crew. NASA stands on a new horizon, poised to take the next giant leap, deeper into the solar system. The Apollo missions blazed a path for human exploration to the moon, and today NASA is extending that path to near-Earth asteroids, Mars and beyond.
