The tragic loss of one of America’s greatest heros, a title he
tried to avoid, has saddened the scientific community, the
country and the world. His work is not done, however, as Neil
Armstrong is continuing to help demonstrate NASA‘s
accomplishments. His death has helped to rekindle the effort to
declare the lunar landing sites National Historic Sites, and to
highlight the importance of the artifacts left there. With new
trips to the moon being planned, it is hoped that disallowing
interference in the Apollo sites will preserve the history that
lies therein. For more information on the work being done on
lunar landing site preservation, please see: For the guidelines
for preservation established earlier this year, please see:
