“AREA 37: Richard Nixon and the History of America in Space,” features more than 50 photos, documents, and space-age artifacts describing RN’s role in the space program beginning with his 1957 suggestion to President Eisenhower that NASA be established. The show features a moon rock, a recording of the conversation between the President and the Apollo 11 astronauts when they landed on the moon in July 1969, a full-size Apollo space suit, and the text of the speech the RN would have given if Armstrong and Aldrin had been stranded forever at Tranquility Base.
