56 years ago, Apollo 11 made history as the first crewed mission to land on the Moon. But what does the site look like today?
In this video, we explore what’s still there, the lander, the flag, the footprints, and even the human waste. Using NASA’s orbital imagery and new scientific insights, we return to Tranquillity Base to see how time has (or hasn’t) changed it.
What was left on the Moon after the Apollo 11 astronauts, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, departed? How has it weathered in an environment so hostile that life can’t exist on its surface? Can we still see it from Earth? And what does it tell us about our future in space?
