Moon Memorabilia Opens Armstrong Museum in Wapakoneta
President daughter Tricia Nixon Cox and Neil Armstrong headlined the opening day in Wapakoneta Ohio for the Apollo 11 moon rock and Astronaut memorabilia. Gov. Gilligan joined the ceremony as 3500 spectators swarmed the stage for autographs and photos. Armstrong joked about a July 20 1969 moon trip while praising space cooperation and future shuttle plans. The event honored Ohio’s 100 year plus role in space exploration and welcomed Cox as an honorary Ohioan.
