• The 50th anniversary of NASA's historic Apollo 11 mission took place on July 20, 2019.
• The event stoked our collective imagination about the worlds that lie beyond our own. Today, our excitement about space exploration hasn't wavered, which is why NASA enjoys a glamour and aura of cool not typically enjoyed by government agencies.
• Brands from Nike to Timex to LEGO have created limited-edition 50th anniversary products to capitalize on our universal, long-standing fascination with space and space exploration. You can also shop other NASA-branded products such as hats and t-shirts all year round.

Apollo 11, the NASA mission that put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, Jr. on the moon, turned 50 years old on July 20, 2019.

Half a century ago, the world stopped in its tracks to watch them plant a flag on the moon, effectively marking a new era of space exploration. Today, the excitement surrounding everything that lies beyond our own tiny blue dot is as strong, if not stronger, than the fervor generated by the great Space Race of the '60s.

The near-universal fascination with our universe means that NASA enjoys a glamour and aura of cool not typically enjoyed by government agencies. Wearing anything with a NASA logo is met with nods of approval, but a USDA or FTC seal? Not so much.

In celebration of the historic Apollo 11 event, some brands, either in direct collaboration with NASA or not, have released limited-edition anniversary products like shoes and watches. You can also celebrate with NASA-branded products that are available all year round. The 50th anniversary only comes once, so don't pass up on the opportunity to show your love for space and space exploration.
