Aldrin, Jr. Michael Collins Launch: July 16, 1969   Landing: July 24, 1969   Duration: 8 Days, 3 hours 22 hrs on the Moon   Comment: First manned lunar landing This package of toasted bread cubes was intended for consumption by Command Module Pilot Michael Collins during the Apollo 11 mission. Instead it was returned to Earth and was subsequently presented to a General during a ceremony hosted by McDonnell Douglas Astronautics. These bread cubes were among the supplemental items stored in pantry fashion to permit the crew some variety based on real-time preferences and appetites, including beverages, salads, meats, desserts and bite-sized foods. back to Artifacts © 1999-2008 collectSPACE.com All rights reserved.
