2019 $1 Moon Landing 50th Anniversary One Small Step PNC

In the early afternoon of 21 July 1969 at 12:56 Australian EST (20 July 1969 at 02:56 UTC), NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong, commander of the Apollo 11 mission, stepped onto the lunar surface six and a half hours after landing the lunar module Eagle on the Moon. Pilot Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin joined him some 20 minutes later. Two stations in Australia were directly involved in bringing television from the Moon landing to the world: NASA's Honeysuckle Creek tracking station, in the Australian Capital Territory, and the Parkes radio telescope, in New South Wales. This cover contains a sound chip that plays commentary by Armstrong.
