Today, we remember the life and legacy of Neil Armstrong, who passed away on this day in 2012.

Armstrong will forever be known as the first person to set foot on the Moon. But it is not simply the achievement we remember, it is the impression he left behind, and the inspiration he continues to give to those who look toward the stars.

The next time you look at the Moon, give a little wink, and remember the bravery of those who came before us and the courage, curiosity, and hard work still waiting to come.

Some new lakefront property! We’ll call this the Sea of Tranquility.

Beyond the small amount of water on our northern lawn, the museum is doing fine with all the recent flooding and rain in the area. Stay safe!
