Renewed interest in lunar exploration following Artemis II is increasing attendance at the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta. Museum leaders are planning renovations and expanded outreach to enhance visitor experiences and highlight the region’s space history.
The Armstrong Museum hosted a launch party for the anticipated liftoff of the Artemis II.
In West Central Ohio, we are familiar with leaving our mark in history. With recently celebrating the 50th anniversary of Wapak native Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon, the state of Ohio is playing a key role in another monumental leap for mankind. NASA's newest moon mission is Artemis, named after the Greek Goddess of the Moon and Apollo's twin sister. The name is fitting because this mission will send the first woman and the next man to the moon. Artemis' goal is to open the world to new places for lifeforms to exist, including the Moon and even Mars.
