Visitors will walk a Plexiglas floor placed over the many boot prints left there by the first humans to walk the surface of the Moon. A series of greatly enlarged photographs of the site will line the octagon shaped chamber. A collection of articles from other early Space Age landing sites will be on display in adjacent galleries.
You can show your support for this project by simply sending an email with the subject "Yes to Gagarin-Grissom" to the following Web address;

"Circling the Earth in the orbital spaceship I marveled at the beauty of our planet. People of the world, let us safeguard and enhance this beauty – not destroy it." YURI GAGARIN, Cosmonaut

"If we die, we want people to accept it. We're in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life." VIRGIL GRISSOM, Astronaut
