The Apollo 11 mission landed on the moon on July 20, 1969. Fifty years later, we celebrate the bold, collaborative efforts of Apollo 11 and imagine the next "giant leap" in space exploration. How do you connect to the triumph of the Apollo 11 mission today? Share your memories, inspirations and personal "moonshots" with us through July 1 in a special display on the 4th floor of Harold Washington Library Center.
Selected stories will be shared in an online exhibition through Google Arts & Culture. For more information, visit Adler Planetarium: Share Your Apollo 11 Stories.
