We will have the chance to buy a piece of space exploration . Neil Armstrong's of mementos will be auctioned. Mr Armstrong was the person to walk on the moon, on July 20, 1969. Items from that landing will go under the auctioneer's , including a US flag and medals given to NASA astronauts. The auction house thinks the will be very popular. It said: "Space is one of the very, very few that every single person seems to be interested in....You show something from the space program, and they are by it."
Neil Armstrong kept his space souvenirs in his house in Ohio. His son Mark said his father never talked about what he wanted to be done with his collection of space mementos. He said: "I don't think he spent much thinking about it. He did save the items, so he felt they were worth saving." Mark and his brother decided to auction the to share their father's . They restored many of the items. They said it was becoming difficult to identify things. The of living people connected to the Apollo 11 was decreasing.
