Space has always been interesting to me, especially after meeting astronaut, Chris Hadfield for a Weekend Philler shoot earlier this year. So it was really cool learning about New Jersey connections to the Apollo 11 moon landing.

From my post on phl17.com:

This exhibit at the New Jersey State Museum puts a local spin on celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

“Many Inspired Steps” is a walk through exhibit with interesting artifacts related to the space mission. You can see moon rocks, a New Jersey flag that flew with the space crew, a space suit made by an NJ company, ceramic souvenirs, and an astronaut glove mold made for Walter Schirra, who was born in Hackensack, NJ.
