The National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution presents the history of aviation and space travel. There are hundreds of amazing aircraft, spacecraft, missiles, satellites, and other aeronautical wonders, many of them literally hanging from the ceilings of this very interesting place.
The Gallery Apollo to the Moon represents manned space program beginning with Project Mercury (1961), then the Gemini Project (1965-66) and the Apollo Program (1967-1972).
Apollo 17 was the last manned exploration of the Moon.
Polish engineer and scientist Mieczysław Bekker had a great part in the success of lunar landing programs. Mieczysław Bekker and his team designed and constructed the Lunar Roving Vehicle which was used by missions Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and Apollo 17 on the Moon.
