, : Road Trip To The Moon

Generations jazzed on rockets, astronauts, NASA, and Lunar cheese will enjoy these moon mission tourist attractions. A map of Roadside America's Space Race recommendations.

It's been 50 years since the last souvenir rocks left the Moon on December 14, 1972. The lack of a fresh supply hasn't dimmed their allure as showoff travel treasures at America's space attractions.

Humankind's imminent return to the Moon will make these rock tchotchkes as common as they are unattractive, but museums will always compete to display the Apollo-era Space Race specimens.
