Additional Details



The crew emblem is perhaps the most meaningful mission-related item to carry on a space flight, representing the planning and training that the crew undertook to make the mission a success. This crew decided not to have their names added to the emblem to symbolize the dedication of the thousands of workers, national effort and the dream of mankind to land on the Moon.
Directly from an Apollo flight crew member, Buzz Aldrin, who assisted in the overall design and inscribed and signed by Aldrin with: "Flown to the Moon on Apollo XI, Buzz Aldrin".
