On July 20th 1999, a very special event occurred in a small corner of Avatar
Cyberspace, the reenactment of the Apollo XI and IX lunar mission on their
30th Anniversaries. Hundreds of people entered a multiuser virtual
reality lunar aerospace museum on the south pole of the Moon in the year
AD 3000. Apollo IX Astronaut Russell (Rusty) Schweickart attended
as Guest of Honor and guide in this historic reenactment at the proper
date and time of the Apollo Landing
30th anniversary. Guests toured through landing sites and space
rocketry, experiencing recreations of Rusty's EVA mission on Apollo 9,
as well as his guided tour through a virtual reality reenactment of the
Apollo11 Mission, humankind's first steps on the Moon. These pages
record a historic event where "outer space met cyber space." You
can also read the complete chat
log of the event.

| All through the event, we shared the reality of our global participation that night, being in the presence of the first generation to share the legend of the Apollo Mission with others who had not yet been born when it happened. This night was also the Gala Opening of the MOON Museum, and since then thousands of people have visited. |
