When President John F. Kennedy first announced the goal of landing a man on the moon, only one U.S. astronaut had flown in space. Now, the capsule that carried that astronaut, Alan Shepard, on his historic 15-minute flight has landed at the library and museum dedicated to JFK. Freedom 7 will open on display at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in Boston on Sept. 12, which is also the 50 year anniversary of Kennedy’s speech championing the manned moon mission delivered at Rice University in Houston.
