Apollo 11 Lunar Module pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin is pictured with the Lunar
Module Eagle on July 20, 1969. Aldrin is seen unpacking the Early
Apollo Scientific Experiments Package (EASEP). The photograph was taken
by Commander Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 lunar EVA. (AS11-40-5927)
Apollo was NASA's third human spaceflight program and the first to put
people on the Moon, specifically with its 11th mission. Launched on July 16,
1969, astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the lunar surface
four days later, while Michael Collins remained in orbit, with Armstrong the
first to lay foot on the sandy surface. "That's one small step for man,"
Armstrong said, one giant leap for mankind.
The "Baseball History" set includes the first launch of Space Shuttle
Columbia STS-1 on April 2, 1981. The first space shuttle mission
carried Commander John Young and pilot Robert Crippen. STS-1 launched exactly
20 years after the first spaceflight by Yuri Gagarin in 1961.
Columbia flew 28 missions, with the first and last making international
headlines. On April 2, 1981, Columbia named after the American river –
launched as the first reusable spacecraft. Propelled by two solid rocket
boosters, the Orbiter Vehicle circled Earth 37 times before landing on a
runway two days later. During a mission in 2003, Columbia disintegrated upon
re-entry, and all seven astronauts aboard died.
