(Eagle News Service) — The Grumman Lunar Module LM-13 on display at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Long Island, New York was created for the Apollo 19 mission to Copernicus Crater in 1973. This mission was cancelled and the module is now one of only three surviving lunar modules in existence today.

A similar machine put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the surface of the moon on July 20, 1969. This 50th anniversary of Apollo 11’s landing on the moon celebrates one of the greatest technological achievements of mankind.
