Congratulations, Firefly Aerospace, on your succes

Congratulations, Firefly Aerospace, on your successful lunar landing! This was the second time a lunar lander from a private company has ever landed on the Moon. But the first lunar landers sent from the U.S. were the Surveyor landers in 1966-68. The Cosmosphere has the actual shovel from Surveyor 3 and an excellent Surveyor replica. Our spring break activities run from March 14 to 23--a perfect time to come see our Surveyor artifacts! For information about our spring break activities, visit the link in our bio.
