One Small Step:
Exploring America's Adventures in Space, 1959 - 1999

May 20 - November 1, 1999

Thirty years ago the ancient soil of the lunar surface was disturbed by Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon. He and Buzz Aldrin (and 10 other Apollo astronauts) left footprints made by boots manufactured by a Delaware company, ILC Dover, Inc. That moonwalk and the last forty years of space history- the scientific and technological impact, as well as its influences on American popular culture and Delaware's connections to it-- are examined in One Small Step: Exploring America's Adventures in Space, 1959-1999.
