Fifty years ago, two men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the surface of the Moon. That's a very simple sentence to write, but getting to grips with what is almost certainly one of the most momentous events in the whole of human history is far less easy. So what was Apollo 11?

A team at the University of Maryland are developing a more accurate version of the Lunar Laser Ranging experiment that was left behind by Apollo 11, 14, and 15 between 1969 and 1971 that allows scientists to measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon extreme accuracy.

NASA has opened the doors to the restored Mission Control Center (MCC) from which Apollo-era flight controllers guided astronauts on the first bold voyages to the Moon. The agency has also released a time-lapse video showing the multimillion-dollar project unfold.

To help preserve and make accessible the thousands of hours of recorded Apollo mission audio, a team of researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas used speech recognition technology to unscramble and analyze the conversations between astronauts, mission control, and technicians.

This year, one of the most important artifacts of the Space Age, the Columbia command module of the Apollo 11 mission​, will leave its home at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum for the first time in almost 50 years as the centerpiece of an exhibition traveling to museums across the US.

A bag full of Apollo 11 relics that traveled into space aboard the Eagle Lunar Module (LM) has been discovered decades after the mission touched down, hidden in Neil Armstrong's closet.

As of July 20th, it will be officially 45 years since astronauts first walked on the moon. To mark the occasion, General Electric has teamed up with high-end footwear manufacturer Android Homme and clothing retailer JackThreads to create a limited-edition sneaker known as The Missions.

RR Auction is hosting a major sale of aerospace memorabilia from the past century.

Tranquillityite, the last of three minerals brought back by the Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969 that were thought to be unique to the Moon has been discovered in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
