Apollo 11 Space Capsule Is Going On Another Mission

The Apollo 11 command module Columbia sits in the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Hangar in Virginia, where it is undergoing conservation.

The capsule called Columbia hasn’t left the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., since 1976. It’s heading out on tour to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
