The Moon, Stars, and Sunshine State commemorates the 50th anniversary of a transformative time in global history: the landing on the Moon. More than 530 million people worldwide witnessed these first moments towards a new universe where human tenacity and technology intersect. But as the astronauts launched and the world was watching them, they were looking back at Florida. Join us as we showcase our state’s important role in the past, present, and future of space exploration.
Young visitors can collect a special MSSS (Moon, Stars, and Sunshine State) commemorative ID badge at the Historic Capitol Museum, then continue their space-themed mission at Tallahassee’s Challenger Learning Center to receive a special lanyard. Visit ChallengerTLH.com/Apollo11 for location and hours.
