The San Diego Air & Space Museum was proud to host the Apollo 16 50th Anniversary Celebration, remembering one of the last times mankind walked on the Moon and one of NASA’s finest moments. This year is the final year of the 50th Anniversary Celebrations of the Apollo Moon Landing program, and the museum offered an incredible opportunity to see, hear, and personally meet the key figures who were there during the most extensive in-person exploration of the lunar surface, a goal of mankind from time immemorial. Guests in attendance included Sean Broe, Dee O’Hara, Francella Perez, Danitza Villanueva, Papa Doug Manchester, Dale Yahnke, Julie Purcell, Rebecca Conrad, Hudson Drake, Mary Drake, and Mary Alice Brady. Apollo 16 was a giant leap in the quest for knowledge and scientific discovery.
