@airandspacemuseum to Mission Control: We are taking over the Smithsonian Instagram to celebrate the 50th anniversary of #Apollo11 and the first Moon landing this week! 🚀🌑👨🚀 We’re going to kick things off with one of the ultimate air and space artifacts.
The Wright Flyer’s first flight only went 120 feet, but in 1969, these pieces of the airplane went a bit further: to the Moon and back. Neil Armstrong took them in his Personal Preference Kit on Apollo 11, and they were in lunar module Eagle when it landed on the Moon.
These space-faring Wright Flyer pieces are on display in the Wright brothers gallery at the museum in D.C., serving as a powerful reminder that only 66 years separated the dunes of Kitty Hawk from the Sea of Tranquility. #Apollo50 #IdeasThatDefy

This is such an amazing piece of American history. I have never been to DC before and I am inspired now to take the trip down from NYC! Can’t wait for the rest of the stories this week! 💕

To just contemplate everything that happened within those 66 years (two world wars especially) and how the human mind took us from 120 feet to 240,000 miles - it is pretty impressive.

@thechampagnemadame_ Hope you can visit soon. You can see this piece of history in the same room as the Wright Flyer and Neil Armstrong’s Apollo 11 spacesuit. Pretty amazing!

@thechampagnemadame_ it’s going on long term display! It will be in its current location until 2022 when it goes into its new home in our Destination Moon exhibition.

@danjreed I bet you knew this! What I bet you didn't know is that I lived 600 yards from Huffman Prairie when I lived in Ohio, and I flew kites there allll the time.

I visited Kitty Hawk recently 1.5 month before the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing . Seems appropriate to me that Neil would take a piece of them with him.
