NASA Apollo 11 Mission Patch

Apollo 11 First Lunar Landing Mission Patch


This patch needs no introduction. It is one of only a few mission patches that did not include the name of the individual crewmembers. Continuing with the NASA assertion that the mission was 'For all Mankind'.

Can you believe that we are fast approaching the 39th Anniversary of the historic moment that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot upon another world. Why on earth haven't we returned?

On July 20, 1969, the human race accomplished its single greatest technological achievement of all time when a human first set foot on another celestial body.

Six hours after landing at 4:17 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (with less than 30 seconds of fuel remaining), Neil A. Armstrong took the “Small Step” into our greater future when he stepped off the Lunar Module, named “Eagle,” onto the surface of the Moon, from which he could look up and see Earth in the heavens as no one had done before him.

He was shortly joined by “Buzz” Aldrin, and the two astronauts spent 21 hours on the lunar surface and returned 46 pounds of lunar rocks. After their historic walks on the Moon, they successfully docked with the Command Module “Columbia,” in which Michael Collins was patiently orbiting the cold but no longer lifeless Moon.

Spaceboosters Online Store has embroidered replicas of the Apollo 11 mission patch (above) and a range of Apollo anniversary editions, plus postcards and posters.
