In 1961, President Kennedy challenged the nation to land a man on the Moon before the end of the decade. Appealing to the spirit of adventure and to patriotic pride, his words ignited one of the greatest technological mobilizations in U.S. history. Eight years later, on July 20, 1969, two American astronauts landed on the Moon’s surface. Marking the 40th Anniversary of the Moon Landing the JFK Library and Museum presents a landmark exhibit, Moonshot: JFK and Space Exploration. Featuring original documents, photographs, and artifacts such as NASA prototype drawings for the Mercury Atlas-9 Mission, models of the Friendship 7 space capsule and the Saturn 1 Rocket and memos and speeches, this exhibit will illustrate the elements of imagination and engineering that combined to achieve the successful Moon landing.
The Fairmont Copley Plaza celebrates this exhibit with the To The Moon Package, which includes overnight accommodations and two tickets to the JFK Library and Museum. Rates for this Package start at $269 and it is available through March 31, 2010. Create an even more unique experience by booking the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum Suite.
