Neil Armstrong's Apollo 11 Contingency Lunar Sample Return bag will go up for auction on July 20, at Sotheby's New York to mark the 48th anniversary of the historic moon landing and it could sell for a stratospheric price - the sample bag is expected to fetch over 4 million dollars. Used by Neil Armstrong to collect the first ever samples of the moon on his Apollo 11 mission, the bag still contains traces of moon dust to this day.
This month marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, an event that sparked a technological innovation revolution. To this day, we continue to benefit from space-race advancements, such as the Zero Gravity seats available in the INFINITI QX50 and Q60.

The Artemis program marks the first step in the new era of human exploration. Together with commercial and international partners like JAXA, NASA hopes to establish a sustainable presence on the Moon to launch missions to Mars. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Toyota are also contributing to the programme. MHI will do so through the development of the LUPEX – acronym in English for the Lunar Polar Expedition – and Toyota through the joint development of a manned lunar rover with JAXA. With this "Lunar Cruiser", Toyota hopes to apply the honed technologies used in the extreme conditions of the Moon on Earth.
