• On July 20, 1969, Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the Moon. Their NASA space suits allowed these astronauts to explore the lunar surface for over two hours in temperatures ranging from -183 to 106 degrees Celsius. Armstrong and Aldrin then boarded the lunar module, rejoined fellow astronaut Michael Collins aboard their command module, and returned safely to Earth.

• Starting with the records of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, which was formed in 1915 to study problems of flight and to conduct research in aeronautics, the National Archives holds in trust the records of NASA and other records related to aeronautics, including the Wright brothers' patent for their flying machine.

  The patent act of 1790 established the rules for submitting a patent application. Each application had to be submitted with specifications, a patent drawing, and - if possible - a model of the invention. Eventually, models were no longer required.

  The National Archives holds nearly three million patent case files from 1836-1956.
