Red Line gets two lunar stops, courtesy of MIT and JFK Library

With the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing coming up next month, MIT alum Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong dropped by Kendall Sq. for the Giant Leaps conference last week. The former astronauts, among other things, posed with a replica of their moon lander (right) which some MIT scamps had, obviously, put on MIT’s Great Dome.  

Seven stops down the Red Line, the JFK Library is launching a web site next month to commemorate President John F. Kennedy’s role in getting Aldrin and Armstrong up there. The site goes live 40 years to the minute after the launch, and is intended to recreate the mission through audio, video, photos and other multimedia.
