ALAMOGORDO ― Rocketeer Academy cadets Ariel Greene of Alamogordo and Kason Henry of Las Cruces inspect the lunar surface during a re-enactment of the Apollo 11 moonwalk July 17 at the New Mexico Museum of Space History.
Greene and Henry communicated with fellow cadets who acted as mission control inside the building. All 24 cadets in the Apollo+50 session of Rocketeer Academy took turns working as astronauts, capcom and suit technicians.
Greene was selected to lead the first moonwalk in honor of NASA’s plans to place the first woman on the Moon with Project Artemis.
