NASA wants to restore the commander of the Lunar campaign

Nearly 50 years after the Apollo 11 campaign, NASA is trying to restore the legendary control center that successfully controlled Neil Armstrong's Lunar voyage to the Moon.

Channel NewsAsia reported a campaign to raise funds for the "emergency recovery" Apollo Mission control center which was launched on July 21 on the Kickstarter community fund site, after "overloading visitors and banks." Book reduces harm to famous places ".

The situation was so bad that the National Park Service had to put the control station on the 2015 "threatened" list .

The restoration project will only receive money if it reaches the fundraising goal of USD 250,000 before August 19.

The center of the National Historic Landmark is the successful control of the Apollo 11 during the first human moon expedition, with two astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.

According to NASA's nonprofit group Space Center Houston, the rehabilitation of the center needs about $ 5 million. CNN said the city of Webster, Texas, home to many activists during the Apollo campaign, volunteered to spend $ 3.1 million for central repair earlier this year.

Space Center Houston said the restoration includes the reconstruction of the entire five areas of the center to "accurately bring out the central image when the moon's return trip was successful on July 20, 1969". Every detail was taken care of, from the ashtrays, pencils, headphones and coffee cups used at the time.

The project will also include the reconstruction of the upgraded console console in the 1970s, when the control center served NASA's Space Shuttle Program.

Promotional gifts for this project on Kickstater include a special crew badge from the designer of Star Trek film, Michael Oduka, a set of Apollo 11 Columbia control module models, and a trip. Visit NASA Johnson Space Center.
