50 years after one giant leap. Bringing the moon to earth

It was fifty years ago that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to feel an alien gravity tugging at them. By landing on the moon on July 20, 1969, a mere 66 years after the first powered flight by the Wright brothers, the two astronauts met the challenge set by US President John F. Kennedy seven years earlier to land men on the moon before the end of the decade.In the decades since, NASA and other space agencies around the world have continued to study our satellite companion to unlock its secrets. Those studies produced the detailed images and maps that British artist Luke Jerram used to produce the seven-metre-diameter sculpture Museum of the Moon which you see today - shown here in Liverpool Cathedral).
