Astronaut Neil Armstrong

Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin's flight jacket was sold for about $2.8 million (roughly Rs. 20 crore)  in New York, auction house Sotheby's said. The jacket was worn by Aldrin on the historic mission to the moon in 1969. Aldrin, 92, is the only surviving member of the mission's three-man crew.

Michael Collins, the third American astronaut on the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon along with Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, passed away on Wednesday, and was paid tribute to by NASA.

Apollo 11 space mission was launched on 16 July, 1969 with Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin as the primary crew.

People collected and shared prints of the Apollo 11 landing and moonwalk, which also became the basis for artist Andy Warhol's coloured prints "Moonwalk" and for MTV's logo when the music channel launched in 1981.

Fifty years ago on Tuesday, three American astronauts set off from Florida for the Moon on a mission that would change the way we see humanity's place in the universe.

To put astronauts on the surface of the moon and bring them home safely, NASA had to do many things right, in succession, with margins of error ranging from small to nonexistent.

Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin walked on the moon, gathered rocks, planted a flag, rocketed home to Earth and splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean. After three weeks in quarantine (to prevent a purely hypothetical moon-germ contagion), the three Apollo 11 astronauts got their ticker-tape parade and eternal glory.

Neil Armstrong may have taken that first small step for man onto the moon, but it was John Glenn who took the first slurp of applesauce.

A commemorative plaque brought to the moon on the Apollo 11 mission went under the hammer for $468,500 in Texas, as part of a huge collection that once belonged to late astronaut Neil Armstrong, auctioneers said.

NASA is a special place. It sends astronauts into space with remarkable precision. It boosts our knowledge of the universe with amazing pictures and scientific exploration.

A new trailer for First Man – the Neil Armstrong biopic starring Ryan Gosling as the astronaut and the next film from La La Land director Damien Chazelle – is out on the day of its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday.

The long-lost bag used by NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong to collect the first-ever moon samples has been sold for a whopping US $1,812,500 at an auction in the US.

It was the most ordinary of family dinners, with pizza and cauliflower. Two exhausted parents sipped red wine. Two children giggled over silly jokes and squabbled over a stuffed animal named Baby Jaguar.

The National Science Foundation has agreed to provide medical evacuation from the South Pole for 86-year-old Buzz Aldrin, a former astronaut who in 1969 became one of the first people to walk on the moon.

The Smithsonian Institution in the US has launched a crowdfunding campaign to preserve the spacesuit in which NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong first set foot on the Moon during the 1969 Apollo 11 mission.
