The Apollo missions conducted between 1967 and 1972 marked the beginning of our expansion beyond Earth. The words "That's one small step for a man. One giant leap for mankind." uttered by Neil Armstrong as he stepped on the Lunar surface were just a part of those arduous expeditions that tested our determination as a race. Each Apollo mission was framed by a clear goal: to expand our reservoir of knowledge about that bright rock that orbits around us and which has such a profound cultural and physical effect on our planet. Recently NASA released a series of 8,400 photographs that reveal never before seen moments from the various Apollo missions to and around the Moon that shaped our modern understanding of space travel. Here you will find a selection of the best images that outline these crucial steps in our shared human history.
