Apollo 11 VR: to relive the first steps on the moon in virtual reality

Summary

Apollo 11 is arguably the most famous space mission in history. For the first time, a man trod the lunar soil. This feat, broadcast live on television, captured the attention of millions of people and made many children dream. Overtaken in the conquest of Space by the USSR, the United States had to react. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy gave a historic speech promising to land a safe crew on our satellite before bringing them back to earth. After 8 years of work and experiments, NASA sent two men to the moon in July 1969. Apollo 11 VR invites you to relive this episode which ended the rivalry between the USA and the USSR in the conquest of Space.
