Destination Moon

McCormick County Historical Commission Presents:
Destination Moon
The Apollo 11 Mission

Destination Moon Apollo 11 Mission poster series explores what led the United Stated to accept John F. Kennedy's 1962 challenge of "landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth". Destination Moon examines the mission and recognizes the sacrifices and devotion of more than 400,000 people employed by NASA programs from 1961-1969. Fifty years later, the Apollo program remains a benchmark for great achievement. Visit our exhibit and look back at this historic mission that included innovators, scientists, explorers and astronauts.
