This month marks the 40th anniversary of the first moon landing, a landmark moment that captivated this nation like few others have since.
To celebrate the historic achievement, the Museum of Science is doing something pretty cool. People (no age limit) are being asked to submit a question to Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin at askbuzz@mos.org. If your question is chosen, you’ll have the opportunity on July 20 to call and ask Aldrin your question during a NASA panel discussion at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Questions must be submitted by Thursday at noon.
The Museum of Science has a number of other special events planned to celebrate the anniversary, including a planetarium show about the moon, an exhibit on black holes, and even lunar haiku. See their web site for complete details.
